Lot of growing companies' employees have marketed their company, even during interviews by saying they're ex-FAANG. Is it worth it to join FAANG even if you eventually want to join a fast growing startup or even just get the interview calls from Rocketships

    Last year I had 1,288 connections.

    This year I have 1,300+.

    Never give up on your dreams.

    The haters gonna hate.

    The winners gonna win.

  • I sent 20 job applications with a resume that ONLY mentioned:

    —————-
    [Contact Info]
    [University Name]

    Experience:
    * 2020 - Present (SDE III @ Microsoft)
    * 2018 - 2020 (SDE II @ Amazon)
    * 2015 - 2018 (SDE @ tiny company)
    —————-

    I got 20 responses back to interview. I literally only had those three lines on my resume.

    No working in FAANG, having high grades, being in a top university, nothing of those matters, only heart and soul matters

      Can confirm. Done 3 years at AWS and the amount of times our partners try to poach me or tell me when I leave to let them know is unreal.
