It’s sort of chilling when you go this route. Apple literally told me “great interviews, great record, but you didn’t go to a top 10 school or work at another big company yet. Call us in 5 years.” Thankfully Google felt differently, but man. There’s these little filter steps that are mostly luck and are unintuitive. Not lucky as in “oh I’m lucky I got into Yale” but “oh I’m lucky the Google recruiter read my confused earnestness as admirable”
- vikramkr 3y agoYeah thats faang sure, but I ran into no such resistance with midsize and startups. I was lucky in that I found those companies significantly more interesting and targeted them anyway, if you really want the faang stamp for whatever reason (at this point their comp probably isn't that competitive anymore with falling stock prices and those office perks matter less with work from home, and idk if they have the prestige they used to) then honestly it's probably always been much more unattainable
