7 months in Google Team Matching

Hey everyone, long post but I need to get this out and maybe hear from people who've been through something similar. Quick timeline: June 2025 — Started the Google interview process End of July 2025 — Finished all my onsites Early September 2025 — Finally got my results back (\~1 month of waiting) September 2025 → now (April 2026) — Team matching. Still. So that's 7 months in team matching, and almost a full year since I started the process. Over the past few months I've been consistently sending him relevant roles every weeks, things that match my background and interests pretty well. He would sometimes reply, sometimes not. My questions: * Is 7 months in team matching normal? I see mixed experiences on here * Has anyone emailed google candidate support and actually got something useful back? * Any general advice for someone feeling stuck in this limbo? Honestly a bit demoralized at this point. Would love to hear from anyone who's been through a long team matching process
