I think it's like most companies, really hard to get attention unless:
- You have a referral
- You went to MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU, Cal
- You're coming from FAANG or similar
The frontdoor is a waste of time.
Even with the above odds are against you, but at least you have someone to ask about progress/move things along for you.
- Ashanmaril 6y agoI don't know about "most companies." Maybe most really big tech companies, places that are constantly getting crazy amounts of applications. And if you're living in a heavily populated city. I live in a place with a fairly small population, and I got offers at 3/3 programming jobs I've applied for since my first in 2017.
- fossuser 6y agoYeah - you're right. I should have said 'most bay area software companies' and even that could probably be qualified by 'competitive' or 'famous'.
