Is it possible to get a phone call from recruiter if an experienced iOS engineer applied for a role related to kind of backend stacks and responsibilities ? #faang
Yes if you can leetcode
Yes, I have prepared for leetcode since long. Just quite confused to apply for software engineer roles instead of iOS engineer specific roles as my resume experience are usually iOS based.
Pro tip: it’s easy to crack system design round as a mobile engineer rather than as a backend engineer. Less scope and bottlenecks in the design. (From my experience from F and G)
It’s easiest to make role change within same company, get some hands on experience and then target roles outside.
why you want to switch your career from ios to backend ?
Possible? Duh, yea. You’ll probably land an interview but be scrutinized on the SWE skillset more than a normal applicant. Although some recruiters might want to play into your strengths, just depends. If you study and can pass a SWE interview you can land a job at or one below your current level
Thanks for the reply. That means even if my resume has experience related to iOS it won't be a problem to apply for backend related posts ? I have been preparing for leetcode for long and recently willing to apply.
