What is the current turnaround time for looking for a new SWE opportunity? I mean time from application to first interview (not the recruiter call)? I've heard there is a lot of recruiter ghosting for other roles in IT right now.

Aggressively 4 weeks. Of course, it depends on how strong your resume is. If it is generic, it might take 2-3 months.

Thanks for the advice. What does the aggressive path look like for you? I have almost 20 years of experience on a wide cross section of domains, so when I put it all out there it might look generic. But almost always I tailor my resume to the role to highlight where my experience overlaps with the role. What else do you do, if you don't mind my asking. Thanks again.

Also, I hope aggressive doesn't mean I have to short change myself on pay to be able to get an interview. Once again, I hope you can clarify.

It depends on the company and how urgent the need to hire is. From a candidate's perspective, and taking the current job market into consideration, I'd say you're probably looking at anywhere from 1-4 months. Again, could be sooner if you find a place that's looking to hire quickly, but getting call backs is challenging right now, so it's become a numbers game.

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!

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week.

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
