Anybody preparing for switch to Faang companies, having around 3 yoe?

I have close to 14 years of experience mostly in development and solution architecture. Right now I am working in a top FMCG company for 3 years now and now I want to switch to technical product based company such as FAANG , Salesforce and so. I need some help/suggestions on how should I move forward for the preparation.rrwuest you guys to share your experiences as well

Yoe: 2.5 Tech stack: React Native, React JS Current: 25 base Will Indian startups be willing to hire for this much base in current market? If yes, will the work life balance be absolute shit? I’m currently working at a startup, want to switch Please help a fellow SWE. Thanks 🙏

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!

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 am a software engineer with 2+years of experience at a product based company. My current CTC is around 10 lpa which I feel is below market standards. Also my wlb is terrible and growth at my current organisation has become stagnant. I mostly work on bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements. What are the skills that are required to switch to a product based company as soon as possible with at least 15-17 lpa ? Currently I am not aiming for big tech ( FAANG) type companies as I know these will require thorough DSA , System design preparations which is not possible with my current job.

Working at TCS has been nothing short of a disappointment. The so-called "job security" they boast about is the only thing going for them. Job security alone doesn't pay the bills or bring job satisfaction. My pay package is so laughable + there is no room for career growth here. It is almost like they want you to stagnate, my managers know so little that I can only think that the smart people leave and only the mediocre remain at TCS. TCS is a place where dreams go to die. I joined through TCS Ninja ~2 years ago because Amazon revoked my offer and that was my biggest mistake. I am preparing for FAANG again now.

Hello 👋 I am aiming for a job at FAANG, I have never done DSA or CP, I was/am more into system design and just building stuff, now that I have decided on FAANG, I am starting to learn DSA (thinking about solving leetcode Q's in golang). Those who made it into FAANG, please share learnings/resources
