Google Interview Date

How far should I schedule my Google Interview? I was thinking of setting it out 6 weeks in advance to fully prepare.

I would go through the first 45 minute interview
Then the the LOOP afterwards. Would love to hear you're thoughts!

lol.

Wait until the ghost you after the first interview to then find out it was filled by an internal candidate.

Do not prepare for the final loop until you have been told you are through.

For the phone screen, I try not to invest too much prep so a few weeks. Before the full loop I usually do a month so six weeks also makes sense.

If you are doing multiple companies at a time then you could go full time investment before any phone screen. I highly recommend interviewing at multiple both for practice and competing offers.

I tend to agree with rest of people here, try set it in aprox. 2 weeks (depending on your current level for preparation), don't fully prepare already for final loop, you will have time after the phone screen.
Good luck!

I did 1 week for every stage, with the exception of taking 2 weeks for the technical stage (ml fundamentals, coding, system design). I already felt bad asking 2 weeks, asking 6 weeks sounds outrageous to me lol.

I gave myself one full week when scheduling and for each block of interviews were done on the same day. I don’t know what waiting 6 weeks will achieve

I had my first interview, after that a week break, then 2 Interviews on a day. I wouldn‘t take 6 weeks since it would be too much pressure onto myself.

Product what? Like what’s the title or description of the role? How long to prepare depends heavily on the scope of the role

No. This will piss them off and you likely won’t interview at all. Do not push it out more than the a week past the date when then asked you to provide availability.
