Looking into moving from Consulting to FAANG, but I've heard how tough it is. I saw google hires about 0.2% of applicants, as an example. What can I do to make myself stand out?

That’s very generic. What are your target positions in FAANG ? No matter what your technical skills and systems design understanding must be top notch to work in these places. I would recommend going through some very FAANG focused boot camps to level up

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
