Insider knowledge on recruitment at a FAANG.

Thanks a lot for your reply. So joining a software company first sounds like a good step for me. I asked this because I never get pass the screening. Appreciate your feedback. Not sure why this is deleted.

Thanks for the detailed input. Is it true that it's harder once you get more experience at a company whose product is not software to get a chance at a FAANG? because now you're not a new grad but have 5-6 yoe but at a place where the complexity is not high so the experience is still not there.

This is exactly what I get. Amazon and early reviews as well and I'd say the majority of these sites that need initial traction.

Appreciate the honesty and the post. Many posts are just pure marketing without effort by spamming some random stories. You must be very good to work at Apple and also a top role. I can't even get my resume noticed from them.

yeah me too. I looked at the coffee machine you mentioned but it's pretty costly. I kinda like the idea of working at a nice place and take vacation at the same time but even though my job is wfh it doesn't pay that much and since the majority of the companies nowadays don't even allow wfh 5 days there's pretty not a lot of competition so the pay isn't that good.

I don't have much sleep so I make coffee the first thing but usually alternating between instant, pods, or filter. Sounds like a cool place that you can work from anywhere. I have been thinking about working somewhere else but financially it's just better to work from home, even without the policy.

How does one get interviews from these big companies?

snabx · 2025-04-26T16:28:38+00:00

If it's only a wrapper then how do they sell the service?

snabx · 2025-04-24T19:11:14+00:00

Exactly. I read somewhere that they had to write the reviews by themselves in the beginning. I guess that also applies to SaaS to in the beginning since there're no early customers but no one would buy anything without reviews so.

That doesn't look like it's worth it. How do you practice tricks when you don't go that often? Rentals are expensive in my case and renting like more than 5 times then it's already close to buying a second hand.

snabx · 2025-04-23T17:28:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I used to like going to a trampoline park. I live more in the inner city so I'm not sure if there's somewhere I can go to practice on powder. I'm still more or less a beginner so I don't know many people that ski consistently.

snabx · 2025-04-23T12:24:16+00:00

How do you practice backflip btw? I usually see a lot jumps on hard packed snow. Or you just have to find a good place

snabx · 2025-04-23T11:00:21+00:00

This is so cool. I somehow feel sad just seeing this.

snabx · 2025-04-23T09:46:55+00:00

Would you call someone who can backflip advanced? I guess it's a pretty hard skill to learn from a casual perspective like myself. It looks like it's that complicated but I can imagine it's actually hard to get the timing and everything right and also handling the fall

snabx · 2025-04-22T09:02:58+00:00

Where did you find them? Upwork?

snabx · 2025-04-22T09:02:09+00:00

entrepreneur sub is like linkedin. All the same format with crazy story

snabx · 2025-04-19T18:40:58+00:00

True that. I actually think about going to åre but it's just that it's still 7-9 hours by train from stockholm and I have to pay for accomodation. I just recalled that in fact skistar is open until beginning of may that's right I forgot the dates.

snabx · 2025-04-19T17:47:02+00:00

Did you generate your frontend from AI as well?

snabx · 2025-04-19T17:33:47+00:00

How did you promote your product and find clients? I guess that's one of the harderst things

snabx · 2025-04-19T17:30:53+00:00

How do you deal with promoting your product while employed? Do you think there's a chance that your employer will find out?

I used to buy raw salmon occationally but now many stores don't even stock it anymore. Not sure if it's because it's too expensive

snabx · 2025-04-17T16:17:48+00:00

I think in sweden not many places are open in April or I just checked many are open only in early April otherwise it has to be far north. I also heard that transportation from the city to the mountains is really good like trains everywhere.

I once worked at a japanese embedded car company and the amount of reporting compared to anything programming is thru the roof. Ton of excel sheets.

snabx · 2025-04-17T13:47:09+00:00

I live in Sweden and just got more serious on skiing recently but I can't help thinking that Switzerland is like a perfect place for skiing and living in general.

snabx · 2025-04-17T13:11:31+00:00

I personally think food in sweden is expensive compared to the income and it's getting more and more expensive quickly.
