That’s the east part, but if your entire resume is non tech, then FAANG recruiters don’t reach out. (I’ve only ever had one FAANG recruiter ever reach out to me and that was Amazon when they were participating in the idiotic hiring spree during the pandemic). We know cold apps are worthless, and if you aren’t already in that scene, you probably don’t have close enough connections with someone to get a referral. So how do you even get a chance to do the leetcode interviews.
