I applied for the new grad position too a couple months back, having a previous FAANG internship and starting (and selling) my own startup during college. Never heard back or even got the coding challenge. I’ve used Stripe in my own projects a few times and have also heard good things so I’m bummed too.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoWhen I was an undergrad I applied to Stripe several times with a FANG on my resume as well without any responses. Two reasons for that are: 1) I went to a state school (NC State) 2) The FANG in question was Amazon, which I don't think they "count". I have friends that applied when they decided to leave Amazon and they didn't get interviews either. If your FAANG was Amazon I'm guessing you're in the same boat.
- cyral 6y agoHaha, you guessed it. I wish I knew how much my school would matter when I applied to colleges, and that Amazon isn’t as well respected as I hoped. Unfortunately Microsoft gave me a LeetCode hard for my internship interview and google auto declined me so I didn’t have a chance at them. Not sure what was up with that either.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoI knew how much school mattered I just couldn’t get into a better one save UNC. Shame, really.
