Finally got interest from FAANG, imposter syndrome kicked in immediately
I have about a year of experience (college degree but not in CS) and ultimately would like to be at FAANG level company.
I attended Amazon Career Day today and got to have a 15 minute session with a recruiter and they gave resume tips and suggested to apply to any Amazon job Iโd be interested in. Up until that point I thought I could apply to Amazon once and be considered for all open teams looking for that role; turns out thatโs not the case?
I got off the call and applied to about 10 SDE 1 roles and got an email from a recruiter showing interest for one of the roles!! Immediately I thought they sent it by mistake, maybe they send this email out to everyone that attended Career Day, etc and maybe thatโs the case. And I donโt think I know enough DSA to land a role and I know Amazon is shit according to Blind but it definitely gave me a confidence boost after the imposter syndrome subsided!
The recruiter wants me to respond with my most up to date resume and answers to a few questions (salary expectations, languages Iโm comfortable with, etc)
Anything I should know before responding? Am I able to push off the interview loop to practice DSA?
Thanks!
