To those of you that got into FAANG after 2 years at Amzn/Msft/Cisco what was your interview practice regimen? How long did you study? Number of problems practiced? Per day? Top 10/20/50/noname school? Any concentration medications taken (adderall etc)? Any advice? TC 150k
Concentration medication? Take it easy man.
Seriously why so much invested in cashing a brand
I got in as new grad but I recommend doing a lot of real interviews. Try something like triplebyte and ask them to schedule a bunch at once. They gave me 6 onsite interviews in a week (2 were half day) and eventually it was like brushing teeth, second nature. You might get some competing offers.
Just curious if there were fang among the triplebyte
Start from figuring out what does FAANG represent for. From your post it seems this might take you a while .
Just become the best in your field. They will find you.
And how does everyone become the best? Rat race?
0, 0, yes, no.
To a certain extent you must prepare for interviews (basic DS,algos,a few LeetCode etc).However if your killing your self by looking to take concentration medication just for a job interview you may want to just take a job at a mid level company.
Did interview cake, udemy async programming courses, egghead. Blew off my normal job and just studied all day and night. For the practice question I didn’t sleep for two days until I finished it. Just lots of coffee. My advice is be ready to feel like the dumbest person there and constantly be in fear of being let go if you need to do this much to get the job. Really think about if you are okay with that.
Amazon is faang. So I did nothing
