breaking into SDE1/2 roles
hi folks, wanted to know from people working at smaller (less known) companies as to how much the previous companies you’ve worked at matter while interviewing for FAANG roles? is the hiring primarily driven by algorithms and design questions performance? will working in a small stealth company be a blocker? is there someone who worked in a small company and moved places, if you can share experience. -asking while interviewing for 1-2 YOE roles
For resume with lesser "brand" value, the resume shortlisting will be biggest challenge so I recommend you go via referral route.
Once the interview process starts its mostly DS and system design. It will definitely help if you have solved some interesting problems be it in a small or large company, the tech matters more.
