Can anyone help me out with this.
EY KPMG Deloitte
I’ve had my eye on a “Delivery Transformation Change and Communications Consultant” position at Deloitte. Does anyone work here that could give some insight into this position/department or one like it? And is there anyone who has worked in marketing and shifted to communications/consulting…what are your thoughts on a career shift?
Anyone working in spain??
Hi Fishes, Need some likes for DM.
I think it went okay
Is it pronounced gif or gif?
Who’s working out Monday morning? 😤😤😤
Facebook (Meta) Product Management (IC5) or Google Cloud Marketing S&O/ Annual Planning (L6) role if I want to eventually be working on Product Strategy for consumer tech?
Heard it hard to pivot from Google S&O to Product Strategy even with 20% projects internally…

I'm sorry you dealt with that. It really sucks and it's such a blow, I remember those days. My confidence was at a pretty low point. The thing that helped me was to remember that for every job, there are 100s of applicants. That means I have to apply for hundreds of jobs. As awful as that sounds, it's a numbers game and it's not personal. Eventually you'll find the right fit.
would you recommend any tech giant to shoot for , i am looking for work life balance
What's meant for you, will always find you. Maybe you dodged a bullet. This is coming from someone who has landed jobs at top 100 Fortune companies. One of them ended up being a shit show. No support, not enough resources or processes. Everything isn't always what it seems. Take time to process & recharge. Rejection is redirection.
This is so true! So glad you posted this!
I was on the hunt for 1.5 years. Got let down a lot. If you want that money, you get back in there. Don’t let this get you down - this door closed because there is a better one for you to open. After you process this - head up and get back out there 🤝
I went through a similar experience with Google last summer. Months of interviews and preparation, practice. I was referred by somebody at a high level. I did well throughout the whole interview circuit — really thought I had landed it. Positive feedback, conversations about comp, etc. but ultimately it didn’t work out. No offer. I was a bit heartbroken, as I’ve always wanted to be there. But you take the lump and move on. Some things are simply out of your control and may not even be an accurate reflection of your value anyway. Plus you look at the market now, and what’s happening with them. So many variables. The good news is that all that work isn’t for nothing, it got me well prepared and practiced for interviews elsewhere.
Don’t get discouraged. Work with the recruiter and try to find the best role there that’s a perfect match for your background. Maybe this rejection is just setting you up for something better at Google, or another company. I am actually just completed by 4 rounds of interviews at Google and I’ll find out my fate in about 2-3 weeks. So trust me, I understand the stress level and potential disappointment you are feeling right now.
Considering the trainwreck called Gemini I'd steer clear of Google for at least 6 months to a year. In all likelihood they're going to go on a firing spree in the near future.

In my opinion- listen more than you talk. Ask very open questions to get the recruiter to talk more.
DON'T give up! GOOGLE is not the HOLY GRAIL. They try to make you feel like they are superior to all other techies, like you aren't good enough to get into their club. Well F em. Just stand up, brush off your knees and ask yourself what did you learn from all the interviews with the great and powerful GOOGLE? At the end of it all, if you learned something then you are a WINNER. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!
Google is a moonshot, the money and perks are great…but you’ll learn Google, and only Google
F computer science. F programming. F tech industry. F AI. F Google. F Facebook
Dont try to work for a company that thinks your are a number.
While I can offer the pragmatic reminder that no interview process is done until there's a signed offer letter, I'll also offer the more practical advice that rejections always sting — especially one you've been working for that long. That's a "crawl into bed and pull the blanket over your head for like a day and a half" blow.
I did exactly this over the weekend. Getting back on my meditation practice.
Cheer Up!! Everything will be alright..
They just laid off their whole youtube music department here in Austin. Effective immediately. Companies only do this when there are issues internally. You may have dodged a bullet. Feedback from previous employees has not been the best. Keep your head up!
Even people working at Google will say "what happened to that candidate.... we liked them". There's a big disconnect between the interview process and then joining a team.
Rejection SUCKS! It's ok to "mourn the loss" of what might have been but keep your eyes on your goal and don't let this negative experience define you. On the call next week, seek to understand any missing gaps or areas to improve, Find something positive from this experience that will help you in your future interviews, Don't forget you are a ROCK STAR and have greatness within. Best of luck in your journey,
Best advice I’ve ever heard it to do your best in your interviews and after you send that last thank you, assume you do not have the job and keep your interviewing and networking active. I’ve been there and I’m so sorry this happened, but don’t second guess anything! Just keep going and know you are better for the experience, as you said. You’ve got this!
This is a great advice, I’ve been laid off since last Nov and have had 3 final interviews, and just need to do the work and let go of the outcome.
What position was it?
There are a lot of layoffs going on in tech and aerospace sectors right. The company I work for is laying off 300+ people just in my division. Welcome to election year nonsense.
Maybe ask for feedback. You might get some valuable information for future interviews, and it shows a willingness to grow. Employers are really looking for that quality in applicants, especially in the tech field where things are constantly changing.
Sigh, feeling the same from a company, did three high level interviews, I wasn't even told, I had to call and find out.
These jobs are extremely competitive. We are talking about even thousands of applications. To get to the last round with a top tech company is a big deal.
