I come from the semiconductor industry but have done a backend role in my own startup for a year as well as a part time project. I want a role as a backend engineer. I have done leetcode for the past few months but still do not feel very confident that I can do well in a FAANG interview. For Facebook I have applied for a software Engineering position but I am thinking of applying for a semiconductor role in the Oculus team also, to get foot in the door. Would applying to two very different roles reduce my chances of landing with an interview, questioning where my real interest lies? Thanks in advance.
I just referred one of my friend, who successfully asked the recruiter to add another interview for a different role for her.
