  • awesome-for-beginners

    A list of awesome beginners-friendly projects.

    I would never work at a FAANG unless I had no other option. They will pay you handsomely, but they will take their pound of flesh. It's also extremely monocultural: your life, your world, your culture, is about their bottom line.

    Personally, if I was presented with a leetcode interview (I was interviewing a few months ago), I bowed out pretty damned quickly.

    You really need to catch up on the tech. In addition to what the other comments are saying, look into contributing: https://github.com/MunGell/awesome-for-beginners

    Obviously, FAANG is for some people. You seriously need to have a very hard think if that is you.
