I’ve had the opportunity to interview at Google 3x but didn’t get the job. I know I’m lucky to get the chance to interview but now I just feel so embarrassed that I had those chances and didn’t get it. First one for S&O, other 2 for Strategic Partnerships. 1 I was so nervous for and another that I thought I did well… but I get it’s a reach bc I have more strategy experience than anything (but really want SP). Should I honestly just maybe think G isn’t for me? Is that the writing on the wall?

Stop reading into it. You applied and interviewed for competitive roles at big companies, and didn't get them. No big deal. Try again if you want, or not. There's no Sign or Meaning here other than that it didn't work out. Hard rare things often don't work out. Keep plugging away and you'll get something, Google or otherwise

It is just ultra competitive. Heck, I'm already at Google and been rejected 10+ times for an internal transfer. 3 rejections isn't too bad by comparison.

Internal candidates get rejected!? All the Google jobs I applied to in the past clearly went to internal candidates because the hiring manager wasn’t that engaged and I could see he or she haas already someone in mind.
