Last year, I interviewed with Google, paid for coaching service, prepared and memorized the stories and practiced everyday & didn't get the job. Was aiming for 250k TC with Google. This year, I got an F50 job and landed 200k TC without preparing anything. Is that extra 50k that difficult? Or this is because of Google?

It’s less about the money, more about the role. There are so many other factors that go into comp. Framing the question this way does not do yourself justice.

There's coaching for Google interviews?

You guys joke but my cousins in Japan actually had elementary school interviews lol

It's probably because it's Google.

Some jobs just don't work out. It may have been something you did, it may have been that they found someone with exactly the experience they were looking for, or they may have dropped the position all together. A lot of times, timing and luck are critical factors to you getting the position rather than your effort or background

Because it's google. Compared to a generic F50 (which is not another FAANG) they probably get so many more applicants, those applicants are likely more qualified/competitive, google is more likely to pay more, and google is less used to hiring consultants vs techies.

congrats, OP

Can you share a little bit about the coaching service you used? Where did you find them, how much did it cost and were they helpful? Thanks!

Evidently not that helpful

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
