Recently moved to the Bay area to the Big4 mostly cos they sponsored my visa. Hardly any SW Dev/Engg work and pay is laughable. Have been a hardcore hands-on Tech throughout and have only worked in SW Engg/Product Dev firms. Now realize I've made a mistake. Will recruiters write me off now? TC : 180k Yoe: 18+
Leetcode and go to the real tech conpanies
Yup. Concerned whether Tech recruiters will now throw my resume out when they see the Big4 as most recent
Any idea which Tech companies might overlook the Big4 black mark?
LeetCode the hell out, and work on interviewing at the real FAANG companies.
Thanks. On TC and Codeforces. Is Leetcode level prep needed for Manager/Director level roles?
I don’t think so. Your interview process will be geared towards behavioural interviews, and more specifically, questions to gauge your impact in previous jobs.
yes. at 18 yoe and to settle for a big 4 job is a red flag my friend. you may be good but you have to get past the screen first
Agree. Well let's just hope i get lucky
Which Tech companies might overlook the Big4 black mark?
Isn't big4 = fang? Or is big4 = accounting firms
The Accounting ones
Come to Canada
Hmm? What are the companies I should target? Visa could be a prob
