I have 20 yoe, mostly at the "lower tier" tech companies like Credit Karma and Pandora that hire people off of dice. Also a brief Apple contract. How do people get full-time jobs at top companies? I don't see anything wrong with my resume. Is it just luck or can you submit hundreds of applications and eventually get it? I'm Java backend but know basically everything in terms of major languages or can bs it, I'm just asking how to even get an interview.
Pandora atleast had a good hiring practice atleast in 2015, trashing it was unwarranted
Makes sense. I'll remove the low tier experience.
When I tried to apply to Credit Karma I got no reply. So I guess it's just random. That being said, if you want a referral let me know 😄
Sure, do they have any very senior roles?
Of course
Luck
lol whaaat why are people knocking credit Karma? I didn’t get hired off of a dice roll and I don’t hire anyone on a dice roll either
We same tier as Albertsons lol
Professional resume writing might help
Def worth the money if you find someone who gets results!
Pm me for referral
Referrals. Get a referral. And then leetcode. That is all. Repeat as much as is needed. Getting in is just about contacts and grinding away on prep.
Try attending respectable meet ups in your area as well. Especially if they have sponsors from a company you want to go to. Usually that means they’re sending recruiters there to talk to people.
But how do I even apply? They never get back to me. Admittedly Ive only sent a few applications but how many does it take? Is it like a McDonald's job where you have to apply hundreds of times?
This assumes the person means for a tech role. Believe it or not, there are THOUSANDS of non-tech roles at these companies. Obviously I have no insight into whether or not this person is looking for a tech or non-tech role but just wanted to point out that this comment/your perspective is short sighted. I can almost preempt the onslaught of responses that will come (non-tech doesn’t matter blah blah blah), but I’m case you’re open to actual feedback, I felt my comment was worth leaving.
