What’s the best way to get to interview with Google? I have applied online you get only 3 roles to apply a year. Recruiter reached out and gave me two roles to apply but I hold it off since I felt less prepared. Should I go ahead and interview through her even if I am half prepared or is it not so impossible to get a referral? I am looking at data scientist and product analyst L4 roles with 2 yrs US and 4 yrs overall experience.

How did you get recruiter reached out to you?

It’s 3 roles every 30 days…

Definitely go through the recruiter vs online.
And honestly why would you wait? Likely the roles will shift and they’ll forget about you. Many recruiters also are contracted at Google so you run the risk of them no longer being a contact.

Always take the interview and do your best to prepare.

You get 3 roles per month, as others have stated. I agree with other posters, to take the interviews. This is especially good to get interview experience, if not the actual role. You could be right, that you are not prepared - but it might also be the case that you are not seeing that you do qualify. This sometimes happens if a person is an overachiever and perfectionist (MANY PEOPLE ARE!). Men tend to apply for a job when they meet 50% of minimal requirements, and women tend to apply for a job only when they meet 90% of minimal requirements. Always apply through a Googler referral invite - you will at least get a response within about a week or 2.

Also, look into imposter syndrome, in case it is that - and not skills - that is keeping you from feeling ready.

Always been a fan of FIRE and reading about it has definitely helped my finances but I can’t help but wonder if the movement is more about lifestyle change than early retirement.

After you achieve FI,you basically have to maintain the lifestyle that got you there.
