So You've Been Rejected from FAANG

[@OrionKalas]

Thanks man, I needed to hear this. I recently had 7 insane interviews with a company that spanned across 3 months - and was told I should expect an offer soon. This wasn't surprising, since I felt that I crushed every aspect of those interviews. I preemptively started celebrating and sharing with my friends and family; 3 additional months later, I have not heard back. It is tough to keep going, and it feels like things will never work out and i'll be sending new grad applications until I die. However, all you can really do in life is your best, knowing that you'll definitely end up in a better spot than if you were to not try at all.

[@timc3406]

I'm really sorry to hear that, that is so disheartening... Applying for new grad roles is the absolute worst and I remember it vividly. The good news is you have lots of career ahead of you so do not give up man, keep on moving

[@NotKevinNguyen]

Thank you, I just got rejected from Amazon on Monday after weeks long of interviewing and studying. I do feel terrible afterward because I have been working hard for the past 5 months applying and improving. It feels like all that I done isn't enough yet. It really sucks starting over after a failing final rounds and getting a reject email.

[@timc3406]

Very sorry to hear that, that is the worst feeling and it takes a ton of heart to recover and try again but I hope you can do just that and keep going and don't give up

[@pacomarmolejo3492]

I really appreciate this video! For everyone out there: keep your head up! You'll land that dream job. Here's two quotes I like a lot: "If you want to change things in a big way, then you gotta make some big changes." and "if you think you can do it or you think you can't do it you are both right". Keep grinding that Leetcode and keep going!

[@timc3406]

Thanks Paco, well said!

[@feeling4929]

You are a good teacher. And discussing this aspect of SWE sheds light on unexpected nature of interviews which I appreciate.

[@timc3406]

Much appreciated! Well technically I'm a DE not SWE but hopefully...

[@sanjayp7027]

@@timc3406 they had hard questions for DE positions ?

[@Rahulyadav-lv7dh]

It feels good when you have someone who listens to you during this hard time ,no judgment ,no advice just listens to you.

[@timc3406]

Thanks for listening and watching!

[@tejakondammagari816]

Finally someone speaking facts.

[@bojiang2869]

Thanks for the video, I just got rejected from a company after all rounds of interview, after the hr telling me to expect for an offer. Keep going is the only way one can do, and the best way. Leetcode, good to see you again.

[@timc3406]

Sorry to hear, I don't understand why companies do that. I am rooting for you, let's keep on going

[@deanhu3410]

thanks, man, you have tried your best. thanks for sharing this. You will get over it but it takes time.

[@haoyu6628]

Hi Tim. I am a foreign student in the US. You are good enough. Better chances are waiting for you. You are always my idol!

[@timc3406]

Thank you, you're being too kind haha

[@yutao1982]

Now looking back, we know 1 year ago, it was bad timing , now it is worse timing, hope next year is not the worst.

[@devdev19]

I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I have some interviews next week so I hope everything goes well for me but if it doesn't listening to what you spoke about not giving up will be important for me. It was great to hear that from you especially since your leetcode videos have helped me a lot during my preparation. Hope you're doing ok!

[@timc3406]

Thanks a lot and good luck! I hope so too!!

[@def__init]

This is the realest thing I’ve heard all year, thank you man

[@MAhmadian]

You spoke my heart, I couldn't have said it better. Thank you for your motivation, my friend.

[@RaviChauhan-hv3pw]

After watching so many leetcode solutions from Tim. This is the video on why I subscribed. Stay strong brothers

[@guoyizhang]

Thank you so much for being there and cheering us!!! Thanks Chang!!! you are the best!!

[@Oliver-nt8pw]

I love this video. You are so genuine and honest, I really respect that.

[@srispeed]

This needs to be said, Thanks for making a video...very honest take on how people feel when doing interviews with the big companies

[@wangyex]

Hey I know it may not mean much, but I've been starting griding leetcode in Jan this year. Your videos helped me A LOT. I initially knows nothing about algos, only data science stuff Python. Just keep working and the effort will payoff.

[@timc3406]

That means a lot actually

your video makes me feel better. I know that i have to keep going and that I will do it no matter what it takes. Thank you for that video it really helps me go out from the situation am in

[@harryburiram]

Thanks, Tim. We need rejection remedies just as much as practice problems on LeetCode.

[@Jacksonville5]

Just got rejected from Netflix. (3rd time now, final rounds every time) - hit hard. Been beating my self up. :(

[@nero9985]

Just failed 2x apple interviews, I feel this video

[@kalyancbs]

sorry to hear that, your leetcode videos are helping people like me, keep the good work. You never know where the dots will connect

[@irwangunardi275]

Waiting for final round result after tons practicing leetcode and systems design. I watch this ahead so if I got rejected I didn't come disappointed

[@irwangunardi275]

got accepted!

[@timc3406]

Congratulations!

[@austinstewart9283]

I needed this. I'm scared about an interview I have in 17 days.

[@BiloliddinFarkhodov]

I almost cried, thank you for talking with me

[@Bigheadbear666]

This is pure gold. I didn't even got rejected but never got a chance to interview with FAANG and got rejected and ignored by numerous companies. Yeah, systems are broken, acing coding interview does not mean you are a good coder whatsoever. All I know no matter what I will keep working hard until I got an offer. Thank you and I wonder where you are now and how are you doing right now.

[@aralsea_]

Hey, did you get an offer finally?

[@findingfocusRN]

I'm watching this before my interview this week so I don't get my hopes up 😢

[@shenyan9062]

Do not trust them, they know nothing

[@kadimisettyavinash]

I hope you come back to Facebook. Will miss you when you leave :(

[@timc3406]

dude i'm not going anywhere!

[@jiancongwang1268]

I am on the same boat bro. Gotta keep going.

just gave an interview for the last onsite round of google, all rounds went good, this round went terrible

[@timc3406]

Sorry to hear that.. definitely been there

[@vipinamar8323]

Btw this guy is in FAANG now and congrats on that, so yes SOMEDAY my friends. SOMEDAY.

[@gunahawk6893]

Factos bro

[@EzioOmer]

You dont need to feel sad about it. There are people out there, like me, who cant even pass near a simple FAANG interview. Solving a tons of hard problems can indicate that you are very good at coding. This not an easy thing.

@@nero9985 not so great, but I decided to go to startup and stop sorting for Microsoft at this time. Get more experience and come more ready for next time
