When's the best time to start applying for FAANG off-campus

Is it possible to land a job at MAANG (FAANG) via off-campus placement, from a Tier-3 College in Kolkata? If yes, what are the steps?

I'm going to graduate my B.Tech degree at 2025, trying to explore opportunities at MAANG. I have a pretty unique set of experiences, internships and skill set I think i can crack the interviews if given, if you are at one of these let's connect!

Came across a twitter post where a user says its impossible for tier 3 college folks to crack FAANG with freshers/low experience. How is the work culture at FAANG ??? Do you all get to work on the world changing products there ? FAANG folks plz answer. Exception is amazon. Would like to know the rest all companies work culture.

I have offer from one of the faang companies but the layoffs are happening in the company. Will the companies revoke offers for the new grad's who will be joining them in coming months.

Why do you want to work at FAANG? or Why do you not want to work at FAANG?

I have received an offer from B2B startup, fairly early stage bootstrapped and going for series A this year. Base 45 JB 2 Variable 12% And esops worth 30L over four years Role SDE 2 YOE 3.5 should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.

I have seen some companies post about them looking to hire a lot of people and ask people to reach out to them over DM (if their DM is even open in the first place lol), but when I do, I never hear anything back. I have 4 yoe and have applied to so many of these companies, reached out to people working there, but no one has ever replied back. Why do they even say that their DMs are open in the first place? I don't know how to even get my resume in front of an actual person working there, and my resume is not even that bad. Like how do people get interviews in these companies in the first place? I have applied so many times but never actually got contacted by any HR. Any tips will be much appreciated.

Hi all , I'm a CS graduate of 2023 in a t3 college. I have done my internship in a startup company which closed in just 2 months . I had worked really hard and had completed multiple courses in MERN stack for a year in 2022 . Now there are virtually no companies hiring a MERN stack engineer. All the in campus placement of my college are mass hirers and non core CS companies. I was always intrested in theatre which I did effortlessly. I could do two things now . 1. Choose to find a job in some 3-5 lpa job and have wet dreams about joing maang one day 2. Choose to patiently grow in film industry. Which of them would be worth it. I appreciate the rudest words.be blunt .

I'm about to graduate in 2023 and I have a decent offer on campus, but I'm thinking of looking for better opportunities, mostly because of location reasons. Should I apply in March/April, since I can't immediately join? Is the market conducive for entry level SDE roles? Any other tips? Thanks!

I am good at DSA and in HLD. I feel pretty confident that I will be able to crack the interview once I get a chance. I have 2 yoe in total in 3 product based startups. Graduated Bsc cs from a tier 1 college. For folks who manage to get at interview there, what thing help you the most?
