Right, but now I’ve passed the first 3 interviews and now I’m set up for a technical interview

Hey Jeff, just want to thank you for the videos. In the middle of a salary negotiation right now after all my interviews, just finished setting the high anchor earlier today with my recruiter. Your advice on being kind and gracious, and delaying the numbers discussion have been amazing so far. Being kind and gracious made deflecting probes on my current salary so much easier.

Hi Jeff..applying through linkedin isn't helping for mid level management roles.. can you guide on how we can get the resume noticed

[liusports]

Hi Jeff, your videos are super helpful! I have in team match with Google and I have told HR about my priorities among teams, but the manager of my first has not responded for 1 week either yes or no. I wonder what I should do in the meanwhile and if it is normal that the manager takes some time to decide. Thank you!

Hi Jeff, i have finished all my interviews with Google and the recruiter has requested that I send my passport details / address etc . What would this mean ?

[sheryk]

Hi @Jeff. Super helpful content. I am in the final stage of my onsite 3/4 done. I am being interviewed elsewhere and wondering what your advice would be to engage with the recruiter. Don't want to reduce my chances of getting hired at Google. Thanks a lot.

Hi Jeff. Recently I have attended my Google interview and all my onsite interviews are over. I asked for the next steps to the HR. So I got a call from HR later asking for my current compensations, notice period and informed me that the interview results are positive and we're waiting for other reviews. How likely I'll be getting an offer here??

[angelalim]

Hi Jeff! What does it mean by this, this is what my recruiter said. “The interviews went well and since we have a couple of finalists we are now discussing how we should proceed. I hope to be able to let you know by the end of next week. 
Have you received any offers from the other companies and what's your preference so far?”
