I self doubt myself whether I can ever make it to FAANG, especially when all my applications to FAANG get auto rejected.. And I think Im good at technical interviews, but sometimes have challenge in thinking quickly on the feet.. Honestly, I dont think Im dumb or anything like that but my confidence level just keep going down.. I did well in school and have relatively high IQs and worked so hard getting feedback from senior mentors, but cant seem to crack FAANG and even if I did, getting an offer is exponentially harder😭😭 Is FAANG only for special talents or average folks can make it with exp and practice? tc 180 yoe 2.5
What’s making you fail is idolizing those companies. They don’t have anything special, stop stressing
Try referral instead of applying directly most of the faang are either laying off people recently or hiring limited number. Try with a referral to increase your chances and also let market get better
Tried it with referrals and reaching out to recruiter directly.. Still no luck 😭
Let market get better don’t feel sad talent never goes to waste. Keep upskilling yourself I joined in 2022 in Amazon when they are hiring anything that had a pulse. Let things improve give it sometime you will get it. And also with the amount of work in Amazon lot of people regret coming here faang is not all high TC it is also about workload. Choose which is better fit for you
The poll needs to have a 3rd option that says I'm a dumbass that made it to FAANG, or that I know at least one dumbass that made it to FAANG. Most of it imo is just down to luck.
Agree big time
NVIDIA didn’t make FAANG OpenAI didn’t make FAANG AMD didn’t make FAANG Dyson keeping our floors clean but didn’t make FAANG But FAANG made investors complaining about profit margin$ Chill, you have a whole career ahead of you. At the end of the day these are all just businesses. It’s not talent, it’s grinding, and some luck! If that was the case, no one would need to prep for these out of touch with reality interviews
Yeah. Ppl with love and life and who want to keep them. 🤣💐
> YOE 2.5 This is the real issue right here. Just give it time.
getting into faang, or any company really, has nothing to do with intelligence. it’s just about how hard you work. leetcode is a skill that needs to be practiced
It is all about the level not the company
Most people who complete 300+ problems of leetcode get into FAANG. It's whether or not you're willing to put in the work.
