I was in the same boat as you two years ago, (coding since I was 5, no uni degree, 14 years of commercial experience) and I interviewed successfully at a FAANG company (where I still work), for a senior role.
- Slartie 8y agoLet me guess: Netflix? From the outside (I've never worked at any of FAANG, I don't even work in the US) it seems to me that they are the most likely of those companies to actually hire seniors as seniors, simply because they appear to have made hiring preferably seniors (in terms of experience, not in terms of age) a strategy, while the others all seem to have made hiring huge numbers of inexperienced juniors their strategy.
