Feeling discouraged since I’ve been looking to exit for a little over a year with 2.5 YOE. I’ve interviewed for ~120 different opportunities and have been doing an average of 1-2 interviews a day since Dec 1. I did on-sites at FB & Google and found out today that they went with someone else. Is exiting supposed to be this hard? How can I become good enough for these FAANG HMs to choose me vs. “someone else that is a better fit at this time”?

My coach was an L8 who supervised the role I applied for.

Not directly of course, but prior to coaching.

I have thought about it but always decided against interview coaching since I didn’t want to pay all this money and then still not get the job. Is your offer from FAANG and what’s your profile?

It’s from FAANG. The coaches on that site focus specifically on helping you get into those companies. I thought the same thing but the positive outcomes just kept coming. You can schedule free consultations with people too.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

Hi Guyz,

I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.

Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?
