I have no idea if you have a shot, but a good way to test the grounds could be doing the Triplebyte process. It's all online, you have those standardized technical test that big companies use and you get good feedback from those.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm planning on doing TripleByte, Hired, and possibly some more mock interviews with Interviewing.io in the next couple weeks. I think my main concern is whether I can even get to the phone screen step with companies that don't work with something like TripleByte. Will they glance at my resume and think I'm not remotely qualified because I've never had a "real" software engineering job?

  Work with a good recruiter? The incentive will be aligned in preparing your resume to be accepted by the big companies

  Hey, founder of interviewing.io here. We're not just for practice. If you do well in your mock interviews, you can book interviews with companies like Microsoft, Twitter, Coinbase, and a bunch of others with 2 clicks. Literally no one sees your resume, and you get guaranteed interviews at companies. I can't promise you we have all the companies you want, but unlike Triplebyte, you can choose which companies you want to talk to, and you don't have to talk to anyone, just book.

    Sounds pretty good :) Curious: any issues with using more than one of these kinds of platforms, or do you guys have exclusivity arrangements? How does it work if I've already applied for a role at a company that I then connect with on your platform?

      No exclusivity! You should do whatever you can to maximize your chances. If you've already applied at a company and were rejected based on your resume (ie you never talked to a human), you're free to reapply through us. One of the most recent hires we made at a top tier big co was rejected 3 times based on resume before he got in through us!
