I want to understand my odds of getting into FAANG-like companies, not necessarily in the US, anywhere in the world would work. Say I excel at Leetcode Easy and Medium questions with the following background: - 1.5 YOE - full stack web dev in digital agency in Dubai - electrical engineering degree from top 2 Canadian school (4.00/4.33 GPA) - mediocre extracurriculars What are the odds of getting hired? Where are the highest chances? I have no visa neither in the US nor in Canada.
"Top 2 Canadian school" is just an insecure way of saying "second best Canadian school." Having said that, if you went to Waterloo you can take advantage of the extensive alumni network of Waterloo grads here. They're all over the place and well represented in FAANG.
Lol
Not Waterloo, but surely there a few grads from my uni. Thank you
No one knows just try your best!
Just apply, or get a referral, and thoroughly prepare for the interview. Confidence is key, if your not confident in your own abilities, FAANG companies probably wonât be either. Pedigree isnât everything, a lot of FAANG donât care about degrees anymore, or where you graduated from, rather can you perform well in the role youâre being interviewed for.
Thanks a lot, confidence is definitely a key.
LC skills
0.23459657 is your chances of getting into FANG based on the information above.
Walking off the street with almost no experience from anywhere other than Stanford, Berkeley or MIT is going to be very hard. You might get lucky so you should try but I wouldn't hold my breath. On the other hand there are like 100 companies in the area into which you are a lot more likely to get into and which pay somewhat close to that at your level.
I recently got offers from FAANG and a unicorn as a non-CS major from a solid school in the US. Use your network, apply to many companies, do lots of leetcode, and see what happens. I got rejected by lots of âworseâ companies along the way, just gotta keep grinding.

@BusPatrol- so 50% apples in a bag are bad and 50% apples in another bag are bad, so together all of them are bad. Wonderful!
