If you've tried 100 times past 3 years maybe get the hint? People need to stop being obsessed with FAANG
Haha all the companies you mentioned are probably just as selective as FAANG
What does covid have to do with not making it at Facebook? They are recruiting heavily across most teams

They've passed a lot of business roles

Op have someone review your resume. I have gotten a Facebook interview cold out of PwC, and they reached out to me. It was at the start of Covid, so I did not make second round.
Yes would suggest someone within those firms to review your resume. Also curious how did you apply 100 times in the past years. I thought google had a 3 months and fb 1 year rule before you could apply again, and at one time you can only apply to 3 jobs. But I could be wrong.
When you’re working in some of them, they release their limits

Op, here are some folks who broke into FAANG from PWC

Also, by clicking on the green arrows and the message icon, you can get connected with one of these folks for advice or referrals
It gets harder at higher levels at Google since we can pick form a pool of candidates that have the exact experience the team is looking for. If most/all of your experience is in consulting, you will lose opportunities to people who perhaps have a more diverse set of skills.
For example someone with undergrad engineering -> Boeing -> top-15 MBA -> MBB -> E-bay/Slack/MSFT -> Google is far more appealing than someone who was undergrad -> B4 consulting -> top-7 MBA -> MBB consulting -> Google.
Strongly suggest you try to get a job at a less “prestigious” tech firm first and use that to lateral. There tons of awesome firms that pay as well or better than G/F

Have you been applying with referrals?
Happy to provide insight on the resume and also interview process for folks here but just for transparency I'm unable to provide referrals.
I’d be happy to get such insights. Let me know how I can contact you

Are you applying to roles that are YOE appropriate? Big Tech generally only cares about relevant YOE, so if you're applying to jobs that require, say, 10 relevant YOE with 6 relevant consulting YOE, that's likely an automatic screen-out.
Curious, where do you think you're hitting a wall in the interview process?
Hi Facebook 1, would you be willing to give some insight to my resume as well? Thanks so much!
