Sahil Gaba interviewed at Google three times before landing his current software engineering role.
  • Sahil Gaba, a software engineer, landed a job at Google after two prior rejections.
  • Gaba felt less stressed the third time because he had more interview and coding experience.
  • He also felt that having a good current job helped take away some of the pressure of his interview.

Sahil Gaba was four years out of graduate school and working as a software engineer at Amazon when a recruiter contacted him to interview at Google.

Gaba had interviewed at Google twice before, in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Neither round of interviews turned into an offer.
