Topped my undergrad cohort, worked (FT, Intern) in both MBB and FAANG, active leadership in community/extracurriculars - But zero responses from my >10+ Google Applications (none referred, all non-tech). What am I missing?

For context, 1YOE+ and I have seen similar YOE or lesser get in.

My experience as a hiring manager is consistent with what G1 said. The only entry level hires I've made have come through our internship programs. Everyone else I've hired externally had at least 5 YOE and many 10+.

Google is a weird place to get into IMO. Unless you interned with google and were part of a feeder program, the door is kind of closed until you hit ~4 YoE. Don’t mean to rain on your parade but that’s just my observation. Definitely aim for a referral though.

Agreed. I always said unless you were a college hire, you need at least 4+ YOE before trying to get in.

Most people have 8-10 years experience.
Google is a great place to go to after you have established yourself in your 20s elsewhere

As a person with 1 yoe - you won't get a look.

Come back after 5-6 more years

Seconded.

In my past interview experiences at google (3 YOE, got to the virtual on-site twice this year but never made it to HC) you need something to differentiate yourself. People from MBB/T2 firms at the entry level are a dime a dozen and there’s always someone better than you with more relevant experience or they’ve done really amazing things.

Maybe I’m not the best example but I was able to reverse-stalk the person who got the job on LinkedIn a few months later and then I understood the rationale. The other candidate(s) had a more relevant background or way more YOE. The competition is definitely stiff.
