Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

I recently interviewed with MITRE for a systems engineering role to make the move from Leidos where I feel underpaid for the work I do and for my experience ($85K). I have 4 YOE, a STEM degree, and soon will have a Masters Degree. I’m looking to make around $120K in the new role at Mitre. Does anyone have any insight into comp there? This would be in the DC metro area. Does $120K seem reasonable or am I dreaming?

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!
Don't feel down. Every company is carefully thinking about the financial impact of every hire. It's likely a scenario of "it's not you, it's them". Stay positive, be gracious and keep in touch with those who you met with. If you leave a positive impression, they may think of you next time they have a need.
Life after layoff channel on you tube is tremendously helpful for current trends and job information. Changes every day with A I. You have got this!
This experience must have been painful and very stressful for you. And although painful, rejection is preparation for something greater. There are so many tech companies out there, but you are the only unique element in this situation. Apply what was learned during the interview process to your next steps. See this as learning, not loss. You've got this!
You aren’t missing anything. Google is not what it used to be. The morale is terrible and even internal mobility is nearly impossible. Everyone is largely stuck in place and hoping that if there are more layoffs that it doesn’t hit their PA. That is our job now. No growth opportunities, no new learning opportunities, no exciting vision or strategy, and now no job security. I spend my evenings studying for interviews. Don’t let this get you down. In my opinion you dodged a bullet.
Consider that you dodged a bad situation. It is not because you are not good enough at your ability. It is because they are not a good fit for you
Google is laying off people. Not hiring.
I know the feeling. It's always hard to take the rejection given the time and emotional investment. I had 3 interviews with a guy and then had to complete his 5 hour "exercise / test" only to find out they went with someone else. I'm ok with the decision, but don't ask me to spend 5 hours unpaid on something if it's not the very last checkbox.
Don't think too deep, you will get it if you keep going!
Hi, keep your head up, move forward, don't stress yourself out. It gets better in the long run. Took me a few months, a lot of interviews until the right job came along.
Don’t give up. Keep grinding and ask hard questions. Make the interviewer share why they passed on you. Be specific and don’t take it personal. Find out what the gap or perceived gap is. It’s a numbers game when finding a job. Half the time the posts aren’t real and are already spoken for. Work your network and be aggressive.
I've been interviewing for a while and I've found that companies, especially larger ones, find the most trivial reasons to reject a candidate. Let it roll off your shoulders. Don't expect anything from the recruiter, as it's probably just an attempt to ease the pain and nothing else. Keep applying and don't lose hope.
Tech also has some grossly overpaid people so they will look to shed higher cost mid performing for lower cost mid performing with possible upside.
fuck the google go do cryto projects
is that recruiter a Google employee or or not?
Yes a google recruiter who reached out to me for the role
I'm so sorry that happened. It's going to sound corny and I'm sure you're feeling more urgency with each moment that happens, but what helped me most was taking a break for a few days to get my head straight. Find the thing that makes you feel like you again before getting back to it. And lean on and grow your network as much as you can. My severance came with a career coach service and she taught me that most positions aren't even posted. Ask everyone you know in your network for help. It's one of the hardest things for most humans to do (definitely me) but you'd be surprised at how much people are willing to do to help others. Good luck. Hang in there!
It takes time. Keep interviewing.
How to get over it:
Answer 1: like a mom tells her son whose heart was broken by a girl: there are millions other girls in the world.
Answer 2: to be disappointed more until you get used to it.
Really, this is nothing if you look at it again in 1 year or even 1 month. Have a good sleep and move on.
Keep going hard. Be persistent
Google is not doing well in the last years. They have no moat as one leaked memo from Senior Director or VP at Google declared. Basically these are changing times - from the old horsemen only one or two will survive unscathed.
Give it a day or two of rest and get off thinking about it. Get back stronger. That job was not meant for you, only means that you are meant for bigger things, bigger companies or bigger salary.
