When does the recruiter-candidate relationship really end? Everyone says ~6 months but is that 6 months of radio silence? Or is that 6 months from when you authorized to submit apps. Do you have to reapply after 6 months? Nothing is really clear. And what’s to stop someone from just terminating the relationship and reapplying by themselves. If it ever comes up, can’t you just explain that it didn’t work out with the recruiter?

Nothing can stop you from terminating the relationship. It’s professional courtesy, but we do not owe any loyalty or duty to recruiters. Do what’s best for you and forget the rest. There’s seems to always be a conflict of interest with recruiters, they want money in the pocket and fast, so they’re happy to push to stick you anywhere. Keep that in mind

The recruiter would definitely tell you if a firm wanted to meet with you. You can reach out to the firm at any time but it’s assumed they will let you know if they want to proceed.

Interviewing for a Director role soon. Wondering how the questions will be?

I've been engaged in the Google SWE interview process for the last couple months. Just got confirmation today I passed Hiring Committee and will go into team matching.
