Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?
Hi Fishies! (Is that what we are? I’m going with it)
I just came across a Google Research and Insights role that got me SUPER excited and I was about to apply when I had the idea of seeing if anyone would be willing to give me a referral. I understand (and respect) that most of you Googlers on here feel that a referral is only useful if you know the person but I would be happy to jump on the phone to give you some info about me. It would mean so much! 4 YOE at a major audio steaming service

Interesting, definitely could be a possibility.
Thanks!
I think networking is going to be your best bet especially since these are huge companies that get so many applicants. When I got a referral at Meta my interview process accelerated so quickly. Try to highlight your data skills as much as you can as well as math and cs coursework. Master’s def helps but there is a huge need for technical talent so I think you should still be able to get hired.
Certificates are nice, but they’re like a cherry on top not necessarily the strongest thing to carry your application - at least from what I understand. If you understand the job description and have experience or knowledge that relates, apply and reach out to someone at the firm to get a referral. Talking to people at each firm will help a lot because they’ll be able to tell you if your profile is out of reach.
You’re right - it varies a lot which is why the process is tough, but keep going and talking to people! That’s your best bet.
