Remember that you are going up against MBB for those same positions and they are struggling to get interview calls. You’ll need a strong differentiator on your resume to get to the next level.

What’s your YOE, etc… hard to draw comparisons without some of that info.

That's a common profile and you have 16 YOE meaning you are going for a senior level role.

Why interview you over someone else that networked their way to a chat with the hiring manager?

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?

Interviewing for a product designer IC job at Meta, I was told by the recruiters that final panel would be 2 ICs and 1 manager. My schedule has 3 managers, no ICs and no other functions. I asked - told it was just due to scheduling constraints. I think managers just naturally have more experience and more stringent standards (generally). Is this worth asking to set up the more standard panel for me even if it takes longer to schedule? Or is this a non-issue? Just want an equitable experience
