Is it possible to get a job at a FAANG company without a CS degree? I have limited knowledge of operation systems, networking, etc. but I'm skilled at LeetCode.

Do you have any coding experience outside of LeetCode?

Nobody cars about degree here. You just need to apply and see how you do with the interviews

I'm an L5 and do not have any degree. It's is possible, but thats not to say it's easy. Get a few years of experience and build an impressive resume giving back to the dev community and side projects to get their attention. After that it's just about being able to pass the interview.

I have no issue getting an interview at any FAANG company when I reach out directly. You won't either if you work hard.

Earlier this month I talked with my boss and her boss about me pivoting into Strategy. They were both excited (said it made sense) and supportive. We had a new GSD join our team this month as well, so they announced my pivot to the broader team. But since then, nothing has happened. I was even sent on a production shoot, that I wasn’t suppose to go to, so my Acct Mgmt tasks are growing and no tasks for Strat. Any advice on how to move things along? Thanks in advance!

does senior data analyst necessarily make less than DS? I always want to be a DS, but as I research more I realize DS might also wear the hat of business analyst. The constant interaction in workshops and presentation to other stakeholders are not what I most comfortable in doing. So that makes me wonder, what if I should stay in the DA path to be a senior... But on the other hand, I'm very keen on learning the ML part... still need to sharpen my programming skills tho.

I lied on my resume and I got an offer anyway. They never checked my references, but the HR Manager says they know someone at my last job.
