On getting into FAANG. For those who made the switch, what are the typical roles from, say, MBB? How did you go about it? What's needed on the resume if I'm planning 12 months out? Lvl and pay?

There’s so many better companies than FAANG... MBB always get stuck in the mindset that they only exist .... if u want the best role target another high growth tech place ur a dime a dozen at FAANG, and unlike consulting tech is the most valuable asset

Yeah, will be looking at all options of course. But this question is specific to what's needed for FAANG, not to debate their merits VS other tech. Thanks for the input.

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?
