When an interviewer says after a 1st round, that “you’ll hear back from HR soon, we’re still interviewing other candidates”, does that basically mean you didn’t get the next round?

There’s really no telling. Best to not get your hopes up too much, keep interviewing, and have faith that the right job will land.

You lost control!!! #1 rule of interviewing is don’t lose control of the wheel. Had I been in your seat at the end of the interview I would have said. I really appreciate you spending time with me today and answering my questions. Based off our conversation, I think it would be mutually beneficial to move forward for XYZ reasons.

I’ve been told by clients, coworkers and managers that they always appreciate my transparency so I will extend that curtsy to you as well.

I have two offers on the table that I’ve been dragging my feet because I think ____ firm is the best fit for my next career step.

I am going to make a decision next Wednesday and will be excited if ____ firm has a horse in the race.

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...

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
