Question: what made your resume stand out during your application process which eventually landed you the interview? Skills? hobbies? volunteer work? Target school? GPA?

I think the factors carrying the highest weight would be years of relevant experience in a big name company. That got me 30% chance in getting the interviews through applying by generic job websites

What level are you applying for?

School and GPA are basic qualifiers for entry level. Technical abilities/skills and experience after that. Hobbies and volunteer work should be relevant to the job, otherwise I leave them off.

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
