Reply to comment by foxbase in 1 month job hunt of an ex-FAANG engineer with 6 years experience [OC]. Made with SankeyMATIC by captboscho

Honestly out of those 9 companies I had interview rounds with, only one was a super established company, the others were pre-ipo companies

Ahhhh, are you mostly on linkedin? I feel like I get contacted more by headhunters for mid-sized companies than pre-ipo, but that could just be because I'm ex-faang with no startup exp.

So of the 9 companies I actually interviewed with, 2 of them came from recruiters talking to be on linked in. 6 of them were from me networking and the last was just a cold application.

Ahh I see. Did you know people who worked at the startups from FAANG then? Oddly of all of my former coworkers only one of them moved to a startup. Not so helpful when the big companies are on freezes right now lol

They were mostly people from school and my MBA - but yeah I'm mostly just grateful to have a job now, it's crazy out there
