I’ve seen hiring processes fail not because of candidates, but because of slow decisions. Good talent doesn’t wait forever. Speed is part of respect. What’s the longest hiring process you’ve been through?

almost all the roles that i was offered previously that i declined is due to indecisiveness. if they are slow, they are either fishing for lower wages or better candidates, or they can't make a decision; either way, not a good scenario to join a company.

I hear this a lot. Slow decisions often signal internal confusion, not caution. If a company struggles to decide on hiring, that usually shows up later in day to day work too.

Completely agree—speed isn’t just operational, it’s a signal of respect. I once waited 8 weeks between final round and offer… by the time it came, I’d already accepted another. Curious how teams balance speed with buy-in from every stakeholder. Do you think there’s a “just fast enough” sweet spot?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
