Anyone here ever transition from a big bank FPA role to a big tech Finance role? Id like to eventually move over (google/Amazon/apple/meta/LinkedIn etc).

I’ve applied to google 3 times but my resume was pretty much auto rejected even though I was qualified for the roles. I’ve even tried referrals.

Any tips or stories?

Same here - I’ve applied with a referral to a role I was qualified for 6 times and no luck, just a rejection email.

Maybe you should enhance your resume. I was rejected once by Google. I never tried my luck after that.

Any tips on enhancement? I’ve had my resume reviewed multiple times/optimized for various roles but I’ve had no dice.

If you can't find a referral here, I would try over on Linked in. I usually have good luck over there! Best of luck to you.
