After no luck for year, I have a Director level offer from another firm and 2 ongoing FAANG interviews. 8 YOE, no MBA, no special undergrad, barely graduated. Keep hustling, it can happen. Feeling extremely grateful.

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status. Because I don't even have a passport for the country I am a dual citizen for, I didn't even think about the possibile complications this could lead to with my application. I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.
