I don’t have a college degree. 2 years as a SWE at AT&T (fortune 10 company) where I worked on an awesome project. If I get referred, will I be able to get an interview at Google or Amazon? My dream is Google. Thanks all.
Yes, but not really
Open source projects and Google code jam are 10 times more worthy than a referral, and for a good reason.
Well your odds are still better than a SWE from AT&T with 15+ yoe.
Getting an interview is what you put on your resume.
Haha yeah I know. But it’s just I don’t want to work through all this leetcode and not be able to get an interview
Lol what N of the fortune N your company is in doesn't matter at all
Yes I know. What do you feel my odds are?
Only thing that’ll get you a significant chance is a solid github profile - and some visible projects.
Probably only with a referral
No
Anything is possible but 2 YOE is not nearly enough to outweigh no degree imo
Even with a referral?
