Hootsuite to FAANG

Do you think it's possible to go from a very small company like hootsuite to Google or Amazon? I'm a full stack developer and security engineer! I worked on a couple of startups and I'm at my late 20s which worries me ( You might ask why so old? I was getting my Master's Degree)!

How about my age? Doesn't it affect my journey?

You’re still considered pretty young

I'm happy to hear that! As soon as I graduated I got an interview from google and made some solid connections, however the interviews went on hold since my nationality didn't let me to get into US for the position that I was interviewing for

No, it's a social media management software! I mean it's connected to Twitter APIs. Lol

So much of the Hootsuite alumni are in Amazon. A guy in my team went to Google

I just got accepted by Apple, so it's definitely doable. Just remember to always allocate time to improve yourself, you'll definitely do it.
