Their loops are grueling. Any feedback offered? Look at it this way few make it to on-site so you have a lot to work with if you decide to try again.

Thanks. Sent you a DM

Tough to get an offer at AWS. You’ll bounce back.

I’ve heard people say it took them five attempts before they got in.

Focus on LPs, big time!!

OP could you share what the process is like? Have an initial phone screen coming up but unsure of the specific process.

Sorry, but what are PLs?

It’s a super easy Interview if you have some technical depth. If you can make it to the final rounds on other FAANG companies, or even pass the screening you’ll be fine. ProServe just cares about your soft skills.

They gave me the “portland range” when talking about salary. What if I later on decide I no longer went to be remote but come into the office and be in SF area. What’s the typical approach with salary for jobs that can be remote?

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
