| Thank you for your advise. I value it highly. Me not being an American and not being physically present in the USA complicates things. My understanding is that, because the US visa situation is the way it is (due to historical reasons), unless I'm an extraordinary candidate (I'm not) I'm not going to get a callback from any of their US offices. So these days I don't even bother applying to their US offices. Anyway, as long as it's FAANG, it doesn't matter too much to me where it's located at. Some of those FAANG and similar companies have offices in India, but AFAIK their focus in India isn't as much on engineering as compared to their US offices (I could be wrong here). And besides, it's pretty hard to get into their Indian offices anyway. The few callbacks and interviews that I did get from FAANG and similar companies were actually from their UK/European offices (and I messed them up). Still, I'm not going to give up yet and would keep trying. |
