Hi folks, I have seen many post in here where people are getting many recruiter DMs from good companies. For me, I'm only getting really bad jobs (e.g. contractor, 80k TC) and Amazon. Things I have: - MS and Google on my resume and have experience working with distributed systems and have placed everything I did with performance metrics for each action. - Did every suggestion LinkedIn asks for a star profile (e.g. photo, summary, etc..) Things I'm probably missing - Most technologies I used are internal frameworks so I dont have the buzzwords for popular technologies like Kafka, Redis, etc. - YOE, currently 3 Can someone here share more stuff that I'm probably missing? EDIT: Google and MS didnt reach out on LinkedIn, I just cold applied TC: peanuts
How many connections do you have? Do you comment on other articles? Have you written anything ?
Thanks for putting bad jobs and Amazon next to each other!!
What company recruiters are you expecting will DM you? 3 YOE is not all that special, and if you don’t have buzzwords on your profile why would they contact? You’ve already got 3 of FAANG(MS/G/AMZN) and I haven’t heard 3 YOE get called by all FAANG without reaching. Companies reach out if they’re aggressively hiring, which at the moment is Amazon and Google cloud
I've gotten MS and G only by cold apply. I've never got reached out in LinkedIn. I'm expecting at least FANG would DM me since they're always hiring many people
"really bad jobs and Amazom" that made my day...thanks for making me smile during fb performance review season
Thanks for reminding me about PSC and making me feel better I don’t work at FB 🙏🏻
the horrors of PSC dont leave you even after you leave the company. I hope you are having fun at SNAP and escaped this drama
I heard if you reply to all linkedin messages even if to say not interested, your profile will increase in rank
Ty, I already do this
You can try adding recruiters from different companies to your profile, increase the number of connections. Also usually sending out a custom note along with connection request helps a lot.
Ty will try this. Thought it was creepy last time but maybe it's normal
Nice. LinkedIn profile SEO is a thing. Trying googling for that and implementing their suggestions.
Thanks will try this
