I'd hope they come here but get a refresh. /r/cscareeradvice was basically just a circlejerk of you have to grind leetcode and work at faang or you're useless.
Very true, pretty indicative of the whole industry though. I'm glad I'm already in it, especially in a good position as a software engineer, but after $1k spent in certifications, ~600 resumes sent out, and completely revamping my LinkedIn, etc. It almost feels like you really do have to have worked at FAANG as a senior engineer to even be noticed.
It's all way too gatekeepy as a whole.
