A few things that aren't clear from your post.
- Do you have a degree? If so, which subject
- You claimed you sent in over a thousand job applications and zero offers. What kind of jobs are you applying for? How far along in the process do you get?
I think your problem can be broken down into two parts: getting an interview and performing well in the interview. The first part is trickier IMO because its kind of a black box, although I managed to get contacted by big tech without a CS degree. The second part doesn't take years, it takes months of just cramming leetcode interviews. It's no secret what they look for and ask. They want you to do well and give you all the tools to do well. It's just putting in the effort by grinding leetcode an hour or two a day for a month or two.
- djellybeans 4y agoBA, Art degree in 2007 I apply only to software engineer jobs. Full-stack, front end, or back end, I'm shooting my shot at all three. 95% of those are for mid-level and lower. Other 5% are for senior level. I get zero interviews for senior jobs, though. I share similar views on passing an interview vs. getting an interview. The former is pretty codified these days- there's so much reading material to cover on leetcode/tech interviews. Comparatively it's very tricky to figure out what goes into making your resume turn heads for big tech. It's great that I can read about top Lyft interview questions, but how to get Lyft to 1st round your resume to the top, though. Leetcode practice is useless if you don't even get the chance to use it.
