I haven’t had any luck with referrals personally, all my FAANG interviews have been via LinkedIn/career portal. Taking a shotgun approach with apps seems to be a better use of time than tailoring to individual companies though

Thanks for your response. I was curious before cold applying but that makes sense.

Referral was how I got my gig

If you can get someone more senior to refer you I believe that you automatically get a phone screen (you might also have to qualify for a senior ic role?). Anyway, if you want to send me your resume and a job post you think you are a good fit for i'll review and probably refer.

Got a random referral at google by reaching out to people who went to my Alma mater, previous company. 1% response rate, but the one guy who gave me the referral without knowing me got me the job.

This is actually a great idea. Thank you for sharing! And hope you’re enjoying it over there :)

Referrals are the way to go imo. That being said I never got an interview with them haha. A recruiter got in touch with me so I was lucky enough. But a referral at least ensures you will get a response. Otherwise its most often a ghost.

If you don’t know anyone in the company, cold message people on linkedin (maybe someone at faang that went to your school, that you can connect over). Dont ask for a referral straight away. Tell them you are looking to apply for X role and would welcome tips. Sometimes they will offer to review your CV (as they did with me) and referral as well.

This is a great idea. I’ll give that a try. 😊 thanks so much!

FAANG or MAANG? 😵‍💫

I’ll take either 😅

Hello Guys,

I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.
