I currently lead a finance team at a Tech F500 as a VP but can't get any FAANG/growth Tech interviews. I've been targeting Google L5/L6 equivalent given the tendency to downlevel, but no luck even with referrals. I can get Microsoft equivalent type companies but not any of the hot ones. Are FAANGs only targeting candidates from other FAANGs? How do I get my foot in the door?

What is a Microsoft equivalent type company?

Tech companies that are in the Microsoft range in terms of comp. Microsoft comp is probably 30-50% under FAANG and fast growing unicorns

Hi! I had an interview from a company as a graphic designer. They have moved my application forward and gave me a designer task. I have been following up and they always said that they are still reviewing all the other task from the candidates. They said they will give an updates twice after following up every week. I had the interview and task 3 weeks ago. Do you guys think that I still have a chance?

Thank you ❤️

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
