We ain’t FAANG bruh

GAFAM

I had a phone interview with an Amazon manager back in April, got dinged two days later. A recruiter contacted me in June for another role, asked if I had interviewed with Amazon in the past 6 months, I replied yes and she still pushed me through. I’m one week at Amazon now.

I think the standard is 6 months but it’s not a hard rule evidently.

likehelpful

You can apply to a different role 1 month late
We recommend that you wait to reapply to the same role for at least 6-12 months depending on how big your Target group is.

Personally I'd worry less about how long to wait and spend more time rounding out the skills you need to be successful. Note that I did not say practice interviewing...I said learn the skills that you need to work at faang.

Chances are it's tech or deep business skills

I prefer FAAAM (Facebook, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft)

Generally 12 months is advised for Google

Amazon is typically 6 if it’s for experience or just a bad interview.

If it’s due to major concerns related to leadership principles they may allow you to apply but they’ll flag you and it’ll never advance.

It’s seems like the Amazon folks on here are really pressed about OP not getting the acronym right, lol

That’s because when someone says they work at FAANG it’s usually amazon. 😂

People forget apple all the time; it happens. And Salesforce rule of thumb is 3 apps per year, so without a referral maybe that?

likefunny

Apple isn’t centralized. We hire by team, so no real time limit

I applied for multiple roles at Facebook within a 6 month time frame and ended up going through one interview but didn’t make the final cut. A week after that I got contacted about a different role. So I’m assuming they’re not centralized and don’t have one model they follow when hiring.

Dont think there’s any point in applying more than 3 times / year for different roles if your resume doesn’t change. Make sure you get a referral so they’ll at least look at your CV

Not yet.. still doing leetcode. Plan to apply in another 2-3 weeks, at least when I feel more confident.

Ridiculous from google considering hiring is so hard.

You can always try applying within a different business line within Amazon

AWS is pretty much a separate entity, isn't it?

I'd give it at least six months to a year. They keep your resume on file so sometimes they might reach back out to you if you got far enough in the interview stage.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges.

Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?
