Thanks, which level should I pursue ? I am from technology background but not so strong at the moment. Any guidance or help is much appreciated.

Your networking and skill will impact everything.

And also will resume format matters ?

I suggest you do a research on system design videos.

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
