These behavioral questions are so tricky. I prepared for about 15/20 but they asked me something else.

Just try again. Getting a referral helps you a bit or find someone in that role to help coach you through it. My friends who work at FAANG have referred a bunch of qualified people but have had 0 success or just 1

Yea the fact that it’s tough to get a call after a referral and I screwed that chance over as well is something that’s making me feel bad I guess.

I would ask for feedback even if they are too busy to give. Might be helpful

They say it’s against their policy
