Failed AMZN and FB onsites in the past year, but receive an email invitation from Google recruiter to apply to "any number of differemt positions", the email looks very automated and generic. Should I bother will it just be an exercise in humiliation? Thank you for the advice. At the time of Amazon onsite I did about 50 LC medium and by the time of FB onsite I did about 100, and much more targeted. I bombed Amazon but did quite ok with FB except for sys design.
Maybe you’ll be lucky with a nicer interviewer or easier prompt... just apply. Nothing to lose. Once you drop the pride and not worried about failure, you’ll feel better
You should, there are too many things that can make an interview unsuccessful, and tech skills are small part of it
Did you identify your weakness based on the failed interviews? Focus on that, practice and apply. What do you have to lose?
When I was an intern, I passed google’s but not Amazon’s. Next year I passed amazon’s but not Facebook’s. It’s entirely dependent on your interviewer beyond a certain point
Never reject yourself, at least with interviews with these companies.
All encouraging comments were posted at the same time. Blind isnt 100% trolling, maybe just 99% :)
Why do you call it humiliation? You can learn from it.
How much leetcode did you solve before failing? What was the difficulty of the ingerviews like? Did they ask hards? Do you think you just got unlucky and they asked some shitty questions? Or do you feel like if you had practiced more you could have made it?
If it makes you feel better, I failed I think 20+ interviews, 5 of them were with Google, before finally getting accepted by Google, Amazon and FB. So never give up :)
Obviously my last ones were really good, because I learned from my mistakes in the first ones. Honestly now that I look back, I laugh at myself when I was interviewing in the beginning: I had no preparation (tech and soft skills), and I wasn't even confident. Every time I learned something new until I got them.
That’s awesome. Any tips for Google?
Not with that attitude. Of the 3 it's my impression Google would have the most technically intensive interview process but that shouldn't discourage you. Leetcode and apply
