Please take my advice as a grain of salt. Made to onsite, all of the FAANG, however, did not get selected. I knew the candidate who got selected and the only difference was I did not check couple of boxes 1. Ethnicity 2. SME in CS.

^that. Will also never get an offer if that’s what someone truly thinks vs trying to improve

Make sure you match words in your resume exactly to the minimum and preferred requirements to get through the initial screening. Once you get to interview present yourself as a person vs. a resume….that’s where I see most people failing.

I would focus on areas of growth for a company. For example, Google Cloud is growing like crazy and that means they’ll always have tons of roles open. Find a role there and then move over to the more “core” Google if that’s what you want to do and not Cloud.

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?
