Yup happened to me. The experience they wanted to provide couldn't not be scaled up.

I saw this change comming in the market. Every company which went IPO want to double the strength of the employees. I have a friend who got response from companies like Compaas/Affirm/Coinbase/Sofi also (Apex clearing after NSTB merger want to double it) and a lot more.

My firend cracked interview and joined one of this and for others like me have no traction (6 months in) on the resume at all after using hired/linkedin/direct careers/cold emails. Doesn't matter you have github with real projects/portfolio with good responsive design .......

If this process is broken and we also don't know what are we doing wrong then how all them are going to find all these talent they need??

I think their process of 100% not working. They branded them self through advertising that they will provide constructive feedback if you don't crack their interviews so dev can improve upon shortcomings. My experience was different I never got feedback after my last round part of the reason must be they were not able scale this process up.

I agree, To me discovery process is broken. FANG sends email every year once you have already reached onsite. But I am trying to get into this tech companies new IPO's not FANG. I have applied to many good ones.

I have Github repo. I have my own portfolio. I have wrote flutter app deployed to play store to demonstrate I can function individually and still can write production ready code. And All the above just on my own spare time.

But every company I have applied told me my skill set doesn't aligned with them. I get response from them that there is no traction on my resume. While some friends get interview after interview and others don't.

I am not saying that I am the best but we need different process where entry is given and now show me what you can do.
