Rejection 😢
I got referred for new grad to fb, vmware, and salesforce, but today got rejection emails without any interview and its been 2 weeks since I was referred to Uber so expecting the same. I went to a no name university because of no money because of which I only got summer internships at Rockwell collins and John Deere building web applications. I did 550 LC so that if I ever get an interview I will clear it. I also got 4.0 GPA, 3 publications and many more things. Am I doomed to never get decent interviews and work low tier jobs for the rest of my life😔?
No. You need to get more interview under your belt, lots of competition! You will slowly move up the interview chain... Phone, technical, onsite. Leetcode will get you through technicals, eventually. Then should study body language, eye contact, etc.. for onsites. BS but coding or resume alone doesn't cut it for engineering. In the same boat as you but getting onsites all the time now (then rejected, for now).
Have you applied to Amazon?
The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and told me that I will have interview in early december. Then, ghosted me.
Lmao. Interviewed at Amazon 3 times, you guys hire the most pompous no it all wanna be dbags.
The hardest part is finding the first job. Try to apply to any company even if you think they are low tier. Once you are in, it will be much easier to move to a bigger company. Good luck, be patient and don't lose hope
All this. I went to a no name school. 2.6 GPA. Worked a shit job for a year, started working up the corporate ladder by jumping ship every 5 years there after and now 20 years later and I just signed with Google. To be fair and because I'm an old, there was no FAANG when I got started. And even if there was my current type of role wasn't available till more recently (infrastructure sales). All I'm saying is it's not end of game if you can't get top tier, once you get some experience people stop judging you by your school and more on your body of work
Apply 100+ position and you will get interview somewhere.
With my university, any big company seems out of reach
Keep trying bud, a rejection at this point really doesn’t mean anything. A rejection after an onsite stings quite a bit.
Just work somewhere that isn’t a top tier tech company for 2 or 3 years and try again. I don’t even have a degree; once you have ~3yoe the degree doesn’t even matter.
But I can crack any interview now, just can't get one :(
Then refer to my original comment on how to get one.
Hey, been through the same loop. No name uni, came from a different country. Hustled and found my way into my first job back when I was a senior. Keep at it, you’ll find a way. And as a pay it forward, message me your resume. I can refer you to my current company, as well as some of the places I’ve worked in the past. Don’t lose heart, there’s always something for everyone 💪🏻
Its the same for me. Came to US for Bachelors on scholarship at unknown university. I will dm you. Please refer me.
I will thanks
You may need to hone your interviewing skills more. Your credentials, even as a new grad, is in addition to interviewing skills. I didnt graduate college and I havent had that stand in the way of my 10+ year tech career. You're not as doomed as you think.
But I can't land an interview thats the problem😔
Be more aggressive in applying and getting yourself out there.
Goldman Sachs has online coding based on resume match. Can help get foot in the door
I was sent the hackerrank at goldman. I finished it and it passed 100% of test cases and never heard from them after it
This too shall pass! Wait it out and keep trying
