I have 12 yoe but it's almost entirely microsoft stack i.e. windows/win32/winsock/gdi, c#, asp.net, sql server, plus third-party libaries e.g. protobuf, openssl etc. Was content in that tech stack until I found out about salaries at FANG so preparing now to give it a shot. I pick up technologies quickly, but obviously don't have any professional experience with open source stack that's popular at FANG e.g. Java, php, mysql etc . Would that negatively affect my job chances at FANG? If so, what's the best way to deal with this? #swe #jobs #interview
Doesn't matter. Lot of folks at Microsoft who know only MS stack have switched to non-MS stack companies without any problem. If you are comfortable with C#, you can use it in your algo interviews.
Almost all the FAANGs are going to give you an interview in your language is choice. And c# is so similar to Java, even if you don't get a c# interviewer they'll be able to follow. If you can pass their coding interview, picking up their chosen stack will be cake
Exactly in this same position. OP, how's it going with you? Did you land and interviews at FAANG
