What in the world... I'm a FAANG employee - I think I'm around 18 years of experience now (I stopped counting) - with a great resume (or so I'm told), and I can't even get 100K jobs to respond to me let alone FAANG jobs. I'm talking about the initial step too; I've had zero interviews or screenings.
- angarg12 2y agoThat sounds odd. With that much experience you should at least be getting offers in the 200k range easily. Are you cold applying or using referrals? I found these days CVs get screened by software that's very sensitive to keywords, and it's very easy to get auto-rejected. I documented my process of getting job offers here, you can check it out in case it helps https://www.teamblind.com/post/My-experience-getting-offers-in-2024-nO7wjJxJ https://www.teamblind.com/post/My-experience-getting-offers-...
