The thing is I don't want to work at a place that's just giving people with the right keyword soup interviews anyways. My resume is still using human language, if they're just searching for a certain tech it will show up. But from there, if the recruiter is looking for easiest resumes to parse... they'll immediately recoil and move on For me that's a feature not a bug. I'm at the point in my career where it's generally assumed I'll be capable of giving technical interviews, and nothing sucks more than being on the receiving end a recruitment funnel that's more focused on cookie cutter applications than the actual applicant... I also don't want to work on a team that passed up capable people who just happen to have missed the resume meta - And fwiw, I work at fairly large company, not FAANG large, but ~5k employees, market cap ~50B, and TC is also about in line with FAANG I'd say, at least at my level. We have a ton of ex-FAANG coincidentally... I was contacted by a recruiter of theirs who recognized a previous company I worked at and wanted to chat (very small company, tiny, so I was surprised that was what got them to bite)
