L6 SDE, 12 YoE. I applied to roles at Uber and Microsoft via their website but no response, it's been almost 2 weeks. I have connections at other companies like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, etc so I have phone screens already set up with them. I thought senior engineers were desirable. Guesses on why the cold shoulder?
I was in a similar position. Search for a recruiter at those companies over LinkedIn and connect with them. Worked for me. Make sure to tell them that you are interviewing with FGL.
Thanks
Ugh two companies didn’t get back to you and you think you’re undesirable?
Yes, I feel like I'm good at what I do.
