I posted my info in the last one of those threads and exactly one person reached out, for a role that did not sound appealing me that I wasn’t a great fit for. I have an active StackOverflow (top 18% this year), active Github, several tech articles on Medium (~50 followers), I’ve read many books on SWE (like beautiful teams and mythical man month), TripleByte certified (apparently less than 2% of SWEs pass that) of course TripleByte is dead now… but yeah, I’ve never worked at FAANG but I’m no slouch.
