I’m looking for a job change, not instantly but in the near future, particularly in FANNG. I’m looking for a senior management position but coding is not my strongest asset. Does anyone have any advice? I want to study and prepare for the role and not just randomly keep applying..

Keep working on those coding skills. You won't want to be short in any areas if you want a safe moon landing :)

I'm not gonna lie, cracking into FANNG isn't a cake walk. I would goa head and sharpen your coding skills. You can't really fall into the at roll if you're not backed up by skill.

I’m willing to work hard for it, just need direction. Which skills, what courses, what languages?

How many years of experience do you have?

Thanks!

I wouldn't apply just yet. First and foremost you just said that your coding isn't that strong. To be in a senior position you really need to tighten up those skills. You need to know what's going on, if you're lost you won't last.

Sounds good! Thanks

Personally, I guess working from home would really benefit the company a lot when it comes to cost-cutting. It isn't really a dealbreaker for me, but having it would motivate to be more productive in the workplace.

The offices are pretty awesome....I used to gone for a few hours a few times a week. Was great for that

Create a thoughtful list of 40 target companies, understand your strengths, leverage them, and get noticed. Easier said then done, but it definitely works. If I can ever help, reach out to me on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status.
