How can senior people (10+ years experience) get programming jobs in companies like Google, Facebook etc.? - Dean jackson

Here is the answer.

I like to write down some highlights:

Facebook (more than Google) also seems to dig for a third category for engineers:
  • Can you communicate well, do you work well solo and in groups, and would you be a decent human being to be stuck with in an airport? Are you a leader who can drive things on your own, and/or drive things organically across teams or even full organizations?
Finally, there are honestly some bonus-point things that might help, and might not, depending on recruiter and whatnot:
  • PM signal: do you have business sense? Can you make solid business decisions?
  • TL signal: Have you ever done any teaching or mentoring, or been in a leadership role?
  • Coworker wins: volunteerism/community service, etc.

Actionable Items


I should work hard on PM signal and TL signal.
