Damilola –
“A Techie’s Guide into the Big Tech Companies” is a phenomenal resource for anyone aspiring to break into the tech giants. I don’t even know where to start, this book is everything! It has been instrumental in helping me prepare for most of my interviews and strategically position myself for opportunities at major tech firms. Thanks to this guide, I was invited by three of the Big Four companies, and I’m currently in the second stage with one of them.
The book’s insights into behavioral questions were particularly invaluable. I read and re-read that section so many times; it truly suffered in my hands! 😂 The advice helped me articulate my experiences confidently and align my answers with what these companies look for.
Another highlight of the book is the font choice. It is incredibly easy to read, making the process enjoyable and keeping me engaged throughout. The Engineer Spotlight sections were also a standout feature, offering inspiring stories and practical tips from industry veterans.
In summary, this book is a must read for any tech aspirant. It prepares you thoroughly for interviews and provides strategies to excel. Highly recommended!
