So I had my first ever google interview with the hiring manager (L6 non tech program manager) and I thought I did well, but I did not. Just received a note from the recruiter to tell me they won’t move forward 😥... should I continue to apply to similar roles or I have no chance pretty much (since I couldn’t clear first round?). 6 years in non-tech strategy & operation consulting experience.

To confirm, the HM was an L6, not the role? If the latter, L6 with 6 YOE will be nearly impossible.
Try again in a few months. You might just not be a fit for that hiring managers specific role.
Do you have an idea of where your experience gaps might be based on the interview?

Most Googlers apply 2+ times before getting hired.

First interview was just a screen too right? L6 with just 6YOE is very hard and they probably didn't want to bring in someone at a lower level like they would for larger openings so perhaps just that team wasn't interested in you. Hard to say if any others would but there are so many recruiters assigned to different portions of the business that you probably have other chances to try

Thanks. Great feedback. Yes, I believe it was screen call with (what I was told by my referral) L7 Hiring Manager. The role was L6. I have 6 years of experience in consulting (post MBA) and 6 years in engineering (prior MBA). The only feedback I received was that they decided to go with someone who has stronger PMO experience.

Thanks for the additional info. Without knowing a ton of details about you, I think L6 PgM is going to be difficult with your years/background. I’d try again for an L4/5.

You won’t get more specific feedback, Google doesn’t provide details to the candidates.
