Based on the posts on Blind it appears that most of the companies that use System Design and A/DS are all in Bay area. FANG doesn't have presence in the Chicago area.
I have 12 YOE in small companies and I'd like to start interviewing for SWE roles in bigger companies. My understanding is that most of the companies here focus on previous projects, whiteboarding (not from LC) and domain knowledge.
TC - 150k
YOE - 12

Donβt get me wrong; I would love to work for the likes of G and M based on what I have read here. I wish this community was around when I graduated ~15 years ago. I actually did interview at M back then and never got leetcode questions so itβs amazing to see how they have evolved over time.
Also at 12 yoe I would expect OP to be doing much less coding day to day and more design/leading work - even more reason the specific technology specialization, something as broad as .net, starts to matter less.
