Looking to jump ship. Got interviews with “prestigious”/selective companies like netflix or coinbase but I applied a million times to reddit and never got an interview. It hurts because I really want to join reddit even if it means making less. What’s the deal with resume screening criteria at reddit ? Do they emphasize university a lot ? (Didnt go to a prestigious uni) is it referral only ? Do you must come from fang ?

Why do you really want to join Reddit?
Product, culture, remote, ipo and product again!
Don't have a prestigious school on my resume but they did reach out. Declined the interview after learning about the low pay. Don't know why you're willing to take a pay cut, I think the IPO (if it does happen) will be massively underwhelming.
You work at volvo and they reached out to you ? 🥺 (Nothing wrong with working at volvo but it seems very irrelevant for them to reach out)
Machine learning.
I’ve learned that referrals go along way here. Some teams are also hiring faster than others.
Referrals, they are hatin’
It needs to be clear from your LinkedIn that you are an edgy social justice warrior who loves to conform and are okay with censorship
Not true a lot of people have very low tolerance here for that stuff. Unfortunately there is the vocal minority that is able to suppress the reason of the majority. This is a general tech problem and not a reddit specific one though.
Doordash is an edgy keyboard warrior who loves to dissent for the sake of dissenting. Reddit is nothing like that.
Shitty recruiters.
Do you see a trend/pattern in candidates/hires they bring in ? I know for example that Plaid does care about university a lot
I can't say tbh. I'd recommend getting a referral, but as another poster said some teams are better than others at responding to referrals (I've had some of my referrals get a response in minutes and other received a generic rejection email a month later)
