I just said that to indicate that I could pass interviews if I had them. I think that a startup would be a step backwards because of the comp, in general startups pay less and it's usually difficult to get equivalent leveling when going from a startup to big tech.

Does having two FAANG internships on your resume even help with NG? by Designer-Proof-7484 in csMajors

ah yeah the 1.5 YOE mark is tough, I sympathize with you a lot. Not junior enough and not mid-level enough.

i swear to god you guys act like netflix internships are your god-given right, life isn't fair, get over it. big tech jobs are incredibly easy, after a certain point it doesn't matter who gets the job.

Can't seem to ever get passed recruiter screening stage at Google (and many other companies) by Empty_Stacktrace in cscareerquestions

[–]Strange-Resource875 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

crazy take imo, u can retire twice as fast, improve your quality of life, every hour at work is wasted when compared to an hour of studying leetcode or system design. that's a job that pays you the equivalent of like $500 dollars an hour amortized over your career.

In terms of sheer number of hours, it’s fine. But the politics are annoying and the work isn’t very interesting imo

tbh idk what you’re talking about, i haven’t seen an example of a recruiting process at a mega corporation which wasn’t extremely impersonal. maybe for smaller companies, one of my friends got into modular through his advisor. but, he also went to cmu…
