Don't give up! It can take a lot of time, and a role at a lesser company isn't a bad way to get your foot in the door! Wishing you luck.

Thank you

Everybody wants to get into FAANG, but it can take a long time to achieve that goal. I'd suggest expanding your search and seeing what other opportunities are out there. Google and Microsoft aren't going anywhere any time soon. Focus on getting some real-world, hands-on experience first and then you'll be better able to get your foot in the door.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
