I got my Twitter return offer rescinded due to market conditions after graduating in May 2022 and then after getting recruited to a different team I got laid off from Twitter again in November thanks to Elmo 🤣. Then I made a critical mistake that I'm really regretting. I took a break from recruiting after getting laid off to travel/build something for fun/leetcode, and then all the big companies started laying off, leading to the current market. I went from recruiters spamming my inbox after the Twitter layoffs to a grand total of 0 interviews after 100+ applications, and recruiters ignoring my cold linkedin messages/emails. Not sure what to do at this point besides get referrals and reach out to the Blind community if anyone can refer or knows teams/HMs hiring. Would prefer roles in SF or NYC with enough TC to rent my own apartment w/o roommates, but beggars cant be choosers. Have done 250+ LC and am confident I can pass interviews. Please comment if I can DM you for a referral, I made this post on web so can't accept DM with this account, I really appreciate it. Prev TC: 200k Current TC: 3k from unemployment so far 🤣 #adobe #affirm #airbnb #akunacapital #apple #asana #atlassian #audible #bloomberg #bytedance #circle #cisco #citadel #citadelsecurities #coursera #coinbase #cruise #databricks #datadog #discord #disney #docusign #doordash #dropbox #duolingo #ebay #expedia #faang #facebook #github #google #grubhub #hubspot #hudsonrivertrading #hulu #figma #spacex #imc #instacart #intuit #janestreet #tiktok #linkedin #lyft #meta #microsoft #netflix #nvidia #oracle #paypal #palantir #quora #raytheon #reddit #redfin #riotgames #robinhood #roblox #roku #rubrik #salesforce #samsara #samsung #shopify #slack #snap #snowflake #splunk #spotify #square #stripe #tesla #twilio #uber #walmart #zillow #adobe #zoom #tech #airtable #algolia #algorand #amazon #twitter #referral
Hang in there! Recruiters are also being let go now. Which can explain their position as well. The unfortunate part is the tech industry keeps telling “we don’t have enough folks getting into STEM”, but this is what we do to folks who do come. Why would we think they’d want to come to get treated this badly.
Thank you for the kind words, would you be able to refer me for Netflix? I see one or two roles on the site that look like they might hire a new grad based on the posting
There are never enough people in STEM because every new grad will push down the cost for them.
Did you at least enjoy traveling?
DM for ServiceNow
You did the right thing! build for fun now and travel. the market is shit continue to leetcode. Maybe join a startup better times will come all is not lost!
Same for me. First coinbase cancelled my NG offer 2 days before start. Got Amazon NG but laid off in January :( Applying actively now but got 1 interview after 100 applications.
