Guidance on moving to FAANG companies
Hello everyone, Im currently working on an insurance product where it has its own framework and language. I want to challenge myself and get into FAANG companies. Im not sure of a prep structure. Im targeting for a developer role. If there any better roles than a developer, I’m good with doing non development work too. Please let me know of any such roles. I can compromise on my pay for non development role. Can someone please guide me of information on how to structure my prep for cracking the interviews. Thank you
Leetcode is most of what you need. Learn algorithms and data structures. Don't worry about showing off how much you know about framework XYZ. That's almost useless.
Leetcode is the one true path.
LC top 75 and CLRS are the way
CLRS?
Good advice from others already. You may also try going QA route and upgrade to Dev after a year, but beware that QA can make you stick around. Another way is to target companies in the orbit of your target FAANG and do a hop in a year. Small price to pay in the grand scheme.
Follow blind religiously. You will get to know everything
