This sounds like a game for younger people. But then again, do FAANGs even hire middle aged developers? I ask because of genuine curiosity -- I have a decent network and could probably land another job pretty easily, but only one of my closer contacts works for a FAANG. So the only way I could even try would be through the front door, as it were.
- clpm4j 5y agoApple and Netflix definitely hire a fairly significant amount of middle-age devs... Not sure about the others.
- kleinsch 5y agoYea, they all do. That’s who mentors all the juniors they hire. It can be harder coming from non-FAANG, but plenty of people do it every year, esp as all those companies are expanding. Gotta put in the LeetCode grind though, bc other than Netflix, they all do those interviews. I’m at about 15 yoe, got interviews at 3/5 of the FAANGs with only startup experience on my resume. As others said in thread, get those Blind referrals.
- sarchertech 5y agoWhat does Netflix do instead?
- wyclif 5y agoCan you explain how Blind referrals work? I think I know, but I'm not entirely clear on the details since they're nothing on the landing page of the site about it (at least if you don't have an account yet).
