When applying/interviewing at the FAANG (and like) companies, how much does my previous experience need to match what they do? I mostly have 5 yoe at 3 companies doing Java micro services. But nervous that I have little experience directly with big data, massive clouds, other languages/ecosystems.
They donโt care what you do as long as you did something to get resume shortlisted. After that just leetckde and grok your way in
Depends on the role, for example our team uses AWS quite heavily but what I am really looking for is an engineer with strong OOP coding and system design. We can teach the nuances of AWS and ML workflows. If you are looking PM me if have open SDE2 positions.
