Ask HN: Is it a bad time to apply to FAANG companies?
by olzhasar on Hacker News.
I am a back-end software engineer with about 6 years of experience. I used to avoid applying to big tech companies in the past, because I didn’t have enough time for a proper coding interview preparation and I preferred companies who hired based on my past projects and verbal assessment.
However, I recently quit my last job and for the first time in my life I concentrated fully on my preparation for big tech. Ironically, there are news being constantly published about large layoffs at all major tech companies.
Is it still possible to land a job in FAANG at the moment? Should I continue with my preparation?
