Hey everyone. I’m a Master student in Business Analytics at Columbia graduating this December. I’m looking to apply to Product Analyst/ Manager, Data/Business Analyst roles at Tech companies such as Meta, Apple, Shopify, Amazon, Uber, Microsoft, Salesforce and Netflix. I would appreciate if anyone can help me out in terms of referral or overall advice on how to boost my application given the current hiring freeze in most of these companies.

What experience do you have?

Agree with the above - hiring freezes aren't typically negotiable, except perhaps for senior roles. Check out the referrals bowl on here as well. Would also recommend browsing angellist for tech roles

There are a couple things you can do: 1. I would suggest trying to get a personal referral. That always helps. 2. If you post your resume here we can look over it for you and see if there are any tweaks you can make that might help.

Thank you for all your help!
