How I Landed an Internship at FAANG

  • Fall semester. The beginning of the new school year where friends reunite after the long summer months, and the weather is not too cold and not too hot, perfect to get outside and experience life. For students seeking a summer internship, however, it's a time of war.
    Coming from a non-target school and only 1 internship under my belt, I had to grind my ass off if I wanted to compete and land a top tech internship. After hours of Leetcode and a handful of interviews, I secured an internship at FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google).
    p.s. I can Leetcode in my sleep now.

    You can’t say you didn’t grind for it. Leveraging your intel internship for the FAANG internship was seriously savvy. Good job and thanks for the inspiration!

    After getting one internship offer do you confirmed it or update them that you have other interviews?
