I got rejected by Google even though I thought my coding interview went well. I bombed the interview with Amazon and somehow they gave me an offer as an SDE1 even though I wasn't a fresh grad and had 3 years experience.

My director refers to me as a rock star. My total comp this year is just north of $240K. I was promoted about 13 months in. I'm told repeatedly I'm one of the top engineers in my org and admired and reputable for my ownership, bias for delivery, and quality of work.

The interviews you passed or failed mean absolutely nothing. Any company who rejects you can fuck right off. Take it from me.
