Is this a question that might be asked during a team matching interview, between a software engineer and Google Cloud team? Or is this a slightly different context?
@@tomstepp1981, it is highly unlikely that this question would be asked at the Team Match stage, but remember, in that stage anything is possible. This is more likely to be asked to anyone interviewing for a role in GCP.
this would specifically be a GCA question the way it was answered correct? Would you still use the CFAS method on questions that aren't asked in the GCA interview?
I rarely comment on YT but the salad analogy for Google Cloud was just too good. Also, thanks for putting all this content out for free! I've learned so many helpful things through your videos
The salad analogy for Google cloud was definitely the most creative thing I've heard in a while, but it came across buttery smooth. A master of your craft, you are.
@@jeffhsipepi you're very welcome! Thank you for the content! Applying strategies I learned from you has already helped me to become a more effective communicator, and in doing so I made a radically positive impact on my personal and professional relationships. I'm preparing to interview with Google (among others) for a senior tech lead position, and I am extremely grateful for the fact that your content has helped me not only prioritize my time most wisely, but also helped me improve those interpersonal relationships well outside of the bounds of the interview process context.
A million thanks Jeff, because of you I was able to clear my behavioural round at google ! Your examples and tips helped me to streamline my experience summary and to present my answers in a proper way.
Shervil, amazing! That is what we are here to do, give you a few tips and tricks to set you up for success. But you put in all the hard work to get that positive result, keep us posted on your status!
@@jeffhsipepi Hey Jeff, quick update : got the HC approval ! Wasn't able to make it through the first matching call :( Waiting for other calls to come up !
Great video, Asking for Clarification is emphasized a lot in Google interview questions. But do we need to ask for clarification in RRK round questions also, because technical questions seems to be pretty straight forward. For example if interviewer ask what would be your strategy for implementing security in Google cloud storage account, this questions seems to be self explanatory. Can I just start answering questions or should I put some questions to him.
Pawan, always ask questions, think about all the missing information. You are always looking to ask questions about historical data - have they ever done this before, what is their current set up, have you ever worked with them before; scope - what is the size of the implementation, small, medium, or large; timeline - how soon are they looking to have this completed, in the next month, quarter, 6 months; stakeholders, industry, etc. are other question areas, good luck!
You have almost everything in place in your answers.But if I have to choose one of the best things about your answers , that would be APPROACH TO GIVE ANY KIND OF ANSWER
GCA Questions are more of narrowing down the scenario and finding success to that scenario in the end backed by assumptions and data. Did I get this spot on?
Salad ingredients and toppings compared to Google fruits and vegetables, e.g., products and services, excellent analysis. I must be overlooking something or examples (samples) of G’s product and services to obtain usability or adaptability. How much it weighs? Cost offset by business income potentials with credits sounds like Grandma is in the picture. Reference websites by highlighting G’s stuff so I can see the freshness or taste of your ingredients, thanks.
Hey Jeff! quick question about portfolio website for Google interview. So I have a lot of projects on my portfolio site that are personal projects (no client, those are imagined clients like when I do school projects), should I label them "personal projects"? it this the best way? I was worry about when recruiters do 10-year background checks and thought I'm lying about clients
@@jeffhsipepi I am in my 4th and final interview for a cloud sales engineering role right now and I’ve devoured pretty much every video you have. I’ll be sure to let you know how this goes! #GCP ;)
@@jeffhsipepi funny timing Jeff.. just got my offer letter call 10min ago. I am beside myself with happiness right now. Thank you for the quality content YOU helped me properly negotiate my salary and I now have my first 6 figure job at age 33. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO (I’ll be sad to ditch my Google LDAP ;) )
Great video Jeff. I was actually looking for some content like this. I have one more question when an interviewer asks for any improvement to gcp or it’s services you can suggest ? Does the interviewer asking for a flaw in gcp? How should one answer this type of question ?
Arvind, this is a question that Google asks, especially to a Product Manager. It would sound something like, How would you improve GCP or What are the three improvements you would make to Google Cloud, something like these questions. And the approach is to identify first, if they would like you to focus on one specific area or all of GCP. But then in solving, you would want to determine what angle you will take, actually improving the technology, partnerships, training and education, etc. I hope this helps!
@@jeffhsipepi thanks Jeff for the response. I am currently looking for data engineer perspective. I just want to be ready with all type of scenarios before interview. I believe improvement would be something towards technology. I have some inputs for some of the gcp services but I am not quite sure that will more of a enhancement that the interviewer is looking for. Like in pubsub system when subscriber is down and dead letter topic is enabled messages still does not go to dead letter topic it’s just stays till the retention period and lost forever. I am not sure that I should consider it as one of the answer. Any suggestions .
Hi Jeff, I could be your grandmother so hope you can help me! Can you tell me if I can in fact upload some Google drives to my Google Cloud account? I have to because I'm a therapist and this is the only place I can get a Business Associates Agreement for HIPAA. But it's way confusing. Thank you! Granny M
@@mimicogswell3488 create a new account, this will give you a new gmail address, with a full drive, this is the best step, it will all be backed up in the cloud, good luck!
Just a D&I piece.. what if the candidate's Grandmother knows everything about GCP? What if they don't have a grandmother. Why not grandfather? What if their grandmother passed away? What if it was something horrific as a horrible carcrash that brings back PTSD for the candidate? You get where I'm going with this... Google isnt being inclusive if this question is really a part of interviews today.
I did cover the first part of your question in my interview, (9:39 - Switch Up) because I completely agree with you, there is no reason to not think that the Grandmother is a GCP expert. In regards to the DEI piece, it could be explored that this does not fall within those guidelines, but I do not believe this question was created with negative intent. Thank you for your perspective!
Nek gw sekarang jadi student di Google cloud. Itu apaan cu ? Itu nek kaya lautan yang ada macam macam ikannya dan manfaatnya. Tapi cuma ada di air laut doang nek.😊
Salad analogy was great but than you just ruined everything trying to explain the technology. Even i had my brain exploded after this explanation though I got 20+ years of experience in IT. Poor grandma. So what that salad analogy was for? 🤔

R M, hopefully your interviewer shows empathy and asks you another question!
Why are you making the assumption when the Interview has answered your Clarifying question already if she is or isnt? I don't get it.
Nzegu ima, because typically, we need to fill in some of the other holes with assumptions, I hope this helps!
Amazing ! Thanks
