Hello Nooglers, is it possible to internally switch at Google from TSE (AI/ML) to core ML domain? If yes, how and how much time a person would require to work at TSE position? I received interview call for TSE position so I was wondering if this could be a possibility or not.

I have been using Claude / Chat to help me with interview prep. Not realtime during the interview, but before the interview. I input my resume, specific projects that I have been working on and the job listing and also as questions come up in initial phone screens I take note and get help with reframing my thoughts and answers. Goal isn’t to create a script to read from but to help organize my thoughts so I’m ready to speak to things that would be brought up. Similar to preparing for a presentation and bringing talking points and notes, but in this case your presentation is about your work experience and you can already anticipate the questions that would be asked and have Claude / Chat help with framing the message.
This is a great idea - thanks for the advice
When I feel like I'm having problems with nerves I try to slow down my breathing and just get control of myself. As for my mind going blank, I try to avoid that by preparing for what I may be asked. The trick is to have the subject knowledge in my head, but not to the point where I'd sound rehearsed when giving an answer.
Get a list of questions, prepare answers, and practice your responses out loud. Ideally have another person ask you the questions so you can practice with a live person, or at least in a mirror. That way your brain has go-to responses it can pull from if you go on autopilot mode
I have been in the same boat. I wasn't even able to properly explain how month end close, or even how i create a budget! I blanked out on what assets are as well
Pause and breathe. Remember that taking a pause is fine. Tell yourself, "it's just an interview. I'm just talking to another person." Write down the question as it's being asked. Also, are these in person interviews? If not, write a few notes for common questions and put digital or physical sticky notes on your screen or put high level notes in your notebook.
You can do mock interviews. Practice the most common interview questions and record yourself. Then watch it and try again.
I would suggest practicing. You can always use ChatGPT to practice, that is what helped me. The more you practice the better you get and the less your nerves get you.
I have an opening ritual - I sit down cross my legs, put my hand on my lap and then I'm ready. No coffee before, good hydration and sleep. Also, I like to move slower than the interviewer.
Physically
I’ve been struggling with this as well so it helps to know we’re all in the same boat - remind yourself of that before the next one!
Practice. I usually use the IB 400 guide to practice my questions. Also as a ex-interviewer it was my job to make you feel uncomfortable. I’m not in there to be your friend but rather to see if you are someone I wasn’t to work with and a person who can overcome whatever it is you are feeling.
Use the STAR method to structure your answers. That works almost 80% of the time.
I used Claude and ChatGPT to help prepare for interviews. This might be frowned upon but I actually record interviews with the voice memo app on the iPhone, copy the transcript, and paste it onto ChatGPT/Claude to rate my performance. It’ll tell you exactly what you did well and areas of improvements. Just don’t announce you’ll be recording the interview with the interviewers or share it with anyone.
Also, practice practice practice. I interviewed for 18 different roles in a span of about 3 months—from phone screens to final rounds. I felt comfortable and did much better during the last couple of weeks of my job search. I ended up landing a role.
I also took L-Theanine during the last week of interviews so that *may* have helped.
mind going blank is almost always a rehearsal gap, not a confidence gap. you know the content cold in your head, but you've never actually said it out loud under pressure, so the first time you try, your brain has nothing to grab onto and it just stalls.
the fix that's worked for me: don't just review notes silently, actually speak your answers out loud, ideally to something that talks back so you're reacting in real time instead of reciting from memory. the gap between "I know what I'd say" and "I can say it smoothly when someone's looking at me" is way bigger than people expect, and it only closes with reps.
also worth specifically practicing the moment right after your mind goes blank, not just preventing it. having a go-to phrase like "let me think through that for a second" buys you a beat to recover instead of panicking into silence. recruiters read a pause as composure, they read panic as a red flag. the pause itself isn't the problem.
