Google Freeze Extended
focT38 @ Amazon
Just received a call from my recruiter informing me that the Google hiring freeze "will continue company-wide with no known length." Think this is getting a bit ridiculous. I have an offer elsewhere that I am going to accept with the possibility of reneging/leaving quickly once the freeze is over. I would advise others to do the same, I get the sense that we are being strung along.
I was initially a fringe L3/L4 SWE candidate with HC approval for L3. Through one of my connections, I found a team (outside of the product area for which I interviewed) willing to take me on as an L4 two days before the freeze was enacted. The manager of this team has written me a statement of support for the L4 level and my packet was in line to be re-reviewed by HC for formal L4 approval.
YOE: just shy of 3 yrs
TC: $155k
