Starting in a couple of months. Onboarding page says chromebooks will be pre-selected. Does that mean I cannot choose a Mac? Not a fan of chromebooks

To be fair, you can use a Mac in many places (including Google), so no need to join Apple for that. But yeah, OP sounds like a tool.

What does your job require that can’t be done with a Chromebook?

Been there at Google during Covid and trust me, chromebooks are way better than people think.

Also, most of things at Google are cloud based, so you do not need to install any software locally on the machine. When it comes to core engineering workloads, we used beefy cloud-top instances (64-cores, 256Gig memory) which are way better than mac.

PS: chromebook worked perfectly fine with my personal setup of 2x 34inch monitor, web cam and other peripherals without breaking sweat. Cherry on top, chromebooks never thermal throttle where as the mac would just start buzzing like a giant fan after an hour of use with the same setup

Didn’t know Google gives out chromebooks. I know it’s their OS and all but that’s wild, even uni students can’t get stuff done on that. Thinkpad or bust for me

Are customer engineers allowed to work from a country other than US if needed for a few days ? I am planning to visit India for visa stamping and I won’t have much PTOs to take.

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
