How hard is it to get an interview for SWE at FAANG outside of on campus recruiting? I’m in GT’s OMSCS program right now, hoping to take advantage of career fairs this fall, but I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to prepare for the technical interviews before then. I’m worried about missing out on the recruiting opportunity and having to resort to applying online/LinkedIn afterwards. Any insights into this?

You should be okay, new grad recruiting continues on a semi-rolling basis for most of faang. Entry-level SWE roles are very scarce, so your best bet is still going for new grad positions if you do not have technical experience.

I have some technical experience but don’t think I’d be qualified for experienced hire roles. Aren’t entry-level and new grad positions the same thing?

take new grad hc as much as you can otherwise you’d be competing with ppl w/ either far more field experience or far more hours spent on leetcode. If you don’t have time for career fair I don’t see how do you squeeze out time for swe ii interviews.

Technically all but not equally parallel. Story I heard is that campus recruit fills the spot earlier.

OP, what’s your current experience and education? How many classes have you finished?

I just applied, hoping to get in for Fall 2021!

Gotcha. That’s very helpful to know. Went to Tech for undergrad and currently in the DS/ Analytics space so I’m wondering if it’s worth it personally.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues.

PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
