Ohhh! I wonder why you’re having so much trouble.

I’m in a very competitive market. I also refuse to do leetcode and whiteboards, and will only do small, clearly defined take-homes (since I lack a portfolio and kind of enjoy them).

I don’t bother with the alphabet companies (no interest and don’t want to waste my time with their interview process).

Maybe try targeting your companies more selectively?

And thanks, by the way! :)

Life-changing skillset.

In general I do expect to be a bit disadvante, because my resume is pretty spotty. If you're starting fresh, I'd wager you'd have a better shot honestly. But that's sort of a discrete aspect, because I'm not having too much trouble actually getting the interviews.
