If you tend to customize your cover letter and resume, here’s a tip that has helped me many, many times. Put a place marker above the sections that you plan to customize and highlight the place marker in a different color! The uglier, the better!

Then, as you make your changes, remove the place markers as you go. The place markers make it easy to find the important sections to customize while the colored highlight makes it easy to see what you’ve got left to do.

Good luck, you've got this!

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
