How to get into FAANG?

The Autodesk culture is making me lazy and not promoting the growth in my skill set. Plus, the salary is peanuts. I feel I am being undervalued and looking for challenging roles in FAANG. Has anyone else felt the same? Ex-Autodesk folks- what was your strategy in jumping to FAANG?

It's the same from anywhere and is pretty simple: Make sure you have solid CS skills, particularly around leetcode type questions, as well as system design problems if you aren't a new grad. Get referrals to every company you can. Crush whiteboarding Collect and negotiate offers.

come in as a technical solutions consultant or even solutions consultant. It is not a SWE position but there is opportunity to prove yourself with good perf ratings, and submit code in the process. After 1 year of good work you can do an internal ladder transfer to become a SWE, now that you already work here.
