Will you be looking for people in the future as well? I'm not starting until August with a graduate date in November.

I'm not a Google representative, but behind the scenes there are some great things happening: 1. Unlike many big companies, Google is shifting Early Career hiring (or at least some of it) to a more year round cycle. In the past these companies recruited entry level on the "college cycle", which is October (prime time) and February (backup). 2. The reason Mike and Anja have posted recently is that Google dropped a degree requirement for entry level, meaning anyone with a CS degree or bootcamp (from that list) can apply for entry level jobs. In the past a lot of big companies filtered out bootcamp grads in their traditional "early career" pipelines and most people there were CS grads with many top tier internships already (or at Google: people with 1-2 years industry experience as well) So if nothing changes with 1 and 2, you should have a shot any time! The only exception would be if this is an experiment Google is doing with it's early career pipeline and they stop the experiment because the pass rates are too low (i.e. wasting too much engineering interview time) or other metrics they are optimizing for (sourcing a diverse top of funnel). Anyways I DO NOT WORK AT GOOGLE, these are my ideas from being in the industry for a very long time and knowing how a lot of things work at Facebook, knowing a ton of people at Google, and helping several people get hired in early career at Google. u/miketechrecruit please let me know if anything here is misleading and I will edit and correct!
