How big is the "very qualified Googlers take all the interesting positions" issue?
It's something that has always put me off those huge companies, you apply for a chance to work with them, not to work on something specific. And it seems very likely that, as a newcomer, you won't be assigned to the cool projects, but to the things no one else want to do.
- tdeck 6y agoYou can definitely match to an interesting team if it has openings and your recruiter finds the opportunity for you. For example, when I joined I was working on Instant Apps, a new and technically interesting project I'd heard of that hadn't launched yet. The clearer you are about what interests you the better the recruiter can be. The difficulty I saw was more that your actual slice of responsibility on such a project is likely to be somewhat small. Of course, your mileage may vary.
