Hi all. I had a google recruiter reach out for an initial chat regarding PgM/ TPM role . He asked to schedule it using the calendar link he sent but looks like I can’t see his availability using the link.
On mobile -It just opens up my calendar.
On laptop -it says no appointments available.

The recruiter wont respond now. How do I schedule the call? Did anyone have a similar issue?
Please help! TIA

I just had two of the weirdest interview. I was interviewing for a payroll systems mgmt role and the first guy was a finance mgr and he didn't ask me anything. I basically interviewed him. The 2nd interviewer was the hr systems lead. She had read my resume and was super weirded out that my current role is the same as hers. I think she thought I was interviewing to replace her. She kept asking me what I would be doing. Like dude, do you not know why you are even interviewing me? Hard pass.

Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews. I have an offer on the table from Amazon but with Google I am officially in team matching and my recruiter tells me that the queue is pretty backed up now and it can take a long time. My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.
