Hi,
I'm a PM and I've recently left my job at a unicorn to take up a higher position at an early stage venture. I'm only the second PM hire of the company which means a LOT of 0 to 1 building.
The work is pretty solid and my level of learning is far, far beyond what I was doing at my unicorn stint. I have a lot more autonomy here and my manager is great.
But lately, I've been feeling that this move would probably close my doors for FAANG or even companies like Flipkart and Zomato - because they'd probably pick someone from a unicorn company over me.
Is my apprehension correct? I'm only 3 years into my career if that helps.
Thanks
The roadway for FAANG is totally different. The past experience doesn’t matter much(helps only for interview call), it has certain interview process where you need to go through.
Yeah, my apprehension is mostly about interview call. I already have one good brand on my resume + Tier 1 college if that helps. Will this stint hurt me in getting there someday?
no no that’s good thing about FAANG after 6 months slates are cleaned. So please do try. They don’t count no of attempts. I have seen folks applying 10 times every 6 months.
Hi all,
As the title suggests, I want to break into FAANG and companies like Uber, Walmart, MSFT and the likes but unable to do so.
