Hello friends! I have been leetcoding for sometime now. Now that it’s time to interview I am finding it EXTREMELY HARD to get interviews at my dream companies. Tired of chasing recruiters on LinkedIn without any response! :( Can anyone please help me out with referrals? This would help me tremendously!!! Target Companies (Hard to get interviews): Airtable Apple Asana Chime Coinbase Confluent Cruise Lyft Netflix Palantir Robinhood Roku Slack Snap Square TikTok Twilio Twitter Uber Waymo Target Companies (Easy to get interviews): Amazon Databricks Datadog Dropbox Facebook Google Pinterest Roblox Snowflake Stripe Tesla Please please help me out folks! Blind tax: TC: 🥜 (Below 200k) Leetcode: ~500 questions Target TC: ~500k Yoe: 8 years Any help/advice will be awesome! :) Anyone in the same boat as me? #miserylovescompany #tech #salary #leetcode #interview Note: Companies are in alphabetical order and no order of preference. I have come up with this list after extensive research regarding top paying companies.
Send me a DM about your background and a job you think you’re a good fit for and I’ll have a recruiter reach out to you
DMed you!
Can I DM as well?
i will not join Robinhood given the current struggles user growth
Hmm. Agreed!
Shortsighted, even their stock did not drop.
Amazon?
Added
Remove confluent, roku and Tik tok Rest list looks good
3 of them pay pretty well though. Any reason for removing them?
Personal preference don’t like their company logo. I like flashy & cool logo like lyft , twitter , Reddit
Twitter is on this list but no G? You sure about that?
I have not added places where it is easy to get an interview. Will add these companies at the bottom
Updated!
From your target company companies hard to get interview are Airtable, Asana , lyft, Netflix , twitter & waymo (Also noticed that people working here don’t give referral promptly on blind) For rest either you will get referral easily or probably get call even without referral.
Any tips on how to get referrals for the other companies?
Make genuine friends and network
Interested in Amazon? Why lol
They are paying pretty high for senior nowadays. Will be useful when negotiating with other companies 😉
https://i.imgflip.com/4la94z.jpg Really tho unless you're in a team with track record of good WLB (very rare!) I'd stay away. like you said, only good for negotiation.
I thought it was tough to get a Stripe interview
It’s not. Stripe hires lot of amazon and meta engineers
Chased multiple Stripe recruiters on LinkedIn and some of them eventually replied!
