I have 10 years of exp in Amazon/Facebook/Lyft/MSFT, and tried to apply to multiple companies like JP Morgan and Yahoo, where WLB is rumored to be good (due to current life circumstances I need a place where I can coast on 10-20hr a week). When I apply using same resume to hedge funds, FAANGMAGA, and most startups, I at least get an intro call. However, when I apply to very relevant position at say… Cisco/Salesforce, I don’t even get an initial phone screen and my resume just gets rejected. I have only applied to 5 of these types of companies though, so not sure if it’s just a numbers game? Or is there a secret to getting at least an intro call? Of course every company is different but do recruiters from Cisco/salesforce/yahoo/capital one/J.P. Morgan just try not hire from msft or something? advice appreciated! TC 200 P.S. Microsoft is good WLB but my team/project just got decimated, and I don’t want to internal transfer :/
Ping their recruiters on LinkedIn and see if that helps
I tried this also and it didn’t help. Most of the recruiters don’t respond specially now a days when there are 100s of applicants for one job.
Yahoo, Salesforce and Cisco all had layoffs and most likely have hiring freezes in place.
Hence the coasting
Yahoo had dozens of job postings on LinkedIn for the past few weeks
Coasters should be first asap
Try Hired.com, you will definitely get call from JP Morgan!
For JPMorgan, there are literally people on blind creating posts advertising open roles
You can DM me OP if interested for JP. I can tell you the relevant LinkedIn recruiters for Plano TX location and the process I went through for a 603 (Sr/AVP) role. Be prepared for the worse, the TC may not be what you are looking for than what you have at MS.
Cisco is apparently putting out some decent offers that ive seen on blind. Dm for referral
I mean job market is eh right now, might have nothing to do with your resume
Are you a SWE? 200k with 10 yrs of experience seems very low
Especially at FAANG
I’ve had better pay at previous companies but life isn’t only about TC. Plus, life situations change
Same experience. I think we need referral to get the call from these.
Thank you!!! I thought I was alone
If either of y'all want referrals for Capital One DM me
