I keep getting super close to landing FAANG.
It’s honestly exhausting at this point. Multiple onsites, a couple of them going really well until the final round or one random coding or system design segment where I just falter. It’s so unfortunate how I don’t do well under pressure, i make these tiny stupid mistakes and it snowballs. My private practice feels solid, but the moment it’s real and observed, everything shifts. Yesterday i posted something similar on teamblind asking for advice and someone just hit me with “eff off, SWE is dead.” that one stung more than it should have. Now i’m sitting here frustrated and wondering if it’s even worth it anymore or if i’m just not built for this market.
