Getting into a FAANG as a new PM

So a bit of background on myself: - Studied bachelor in computer science/commerce double degree at top tier international university (top 30 worldwide) - 5 YoE total, 2 in consulting big 4, 2 doing UX in random tech companies and 1 year most recently as a PM in a fintech My question is what is the best way to crack into FAANG as a recently transitioned PM, what levels etc. I’ve tried applying for a few open positions with and without referrals with not even a phone interview. I feel like I’m in a bit of a limbo where I have very limited exp as a PM but too much exp to be applying for grad programs etc. Any insight from others who have been in similar positions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! edit: forgot to mention im located outside of the US but in a developed country willing to relocate

have you tried https://stellarpeers.com/ ? Go do mock interviews with those amazing peers and maybe ask for referrals if you had a nice chat.

problem is i’m not even getting interviews, all the roles i apply for ask for min 2-5 yoe as a PM - and I actually got referrals for most of the jobs I applied for as well
