Google L3 New Grad Team Match vs. Another Offer Deadline

Role: Software Engineer, L3 New Grad
Result: Passed hiring committee; Team Match pending
Report time: October 2024

The candidate had just passed Google's hiring committee but had an AWS offer deadline one week later. They did not expect Team Match to finish before the deadline and asked whether declining the existing offer to wait for Google was too risky.

The candidate said they required immigration sponsorship and preferred Google if an offer materialized, partly because of future permanent-residency planning.

Comment discussion

Two commenters advised accepting and later reneging on the existing offer if Google succeeded. That is third-party opinion, not a recommendation from this article and not evidence about either company's policy or consequences.
