He cracked FAANG (MAANG) interviews in 10 companies including Amazon, Facebook, UBER, Microsoft
How to crack the FAANG (MAANG) interview: My good friend Prasad Wangikar recently cracked job interviews in the following 10 companies,
* Facebook
* Amazon
* Microsoft
* Uber
* Affirm
* Doordash
* Wayfair
* Datadog
* Squarespace
* MANTL
Cracking interviews in these 10 companies at the same time is a remarkable achievement. As per Prasad, FAANG interview preparation is not as hard as people think if you're disciplined and use right set of resources. In this interview, he will discuss,
1) How he managed to crack 10 job interviews
2) Resume tips, how you can network with a recruiter
3) Interview format in big tech. Tips on coding, system design and behavioural rounds.
4) Offer negotiation and making a right decision
5) Some useful resources that can help you crack big tech interviews

You forgot to mention constant curiosity for learning new things. Hardwork can only take you so far before you burn yourself.
I’m Engineering project manager with Apple currently, was with facebook before. So, if you prepare for one of this company & can get offer, u will able to clear others too.. though there will be few variations here & there. Its not rocket science from my experience & its not even that only ivy college students get there. Its the confident with what you carry urself. There companies most of the time is looking for the approach to the solutions. And offcourse the HR do help you in all the way, tips & tricks, topics on which the question will be asked. Last year i went for google but later didnt proceed only bcoz it was more towards business & towards business technology sync. I still have touch with the HR. having good relation with HR do help along the way. BYW, my resume was written by me without any help from expert. So, its more portrait urself to ur best, keep it simple & small with all keywords. Best of luck for anyone trying. Let me iterate its not a rocket science to clear any of these interviews & its also not that u need to best of the best in the industry to get through there. Be confident, know ur craft & apply logic & the respective company values while answering. Ask question & clarification before you completely understand the question & then answer.

Tremendously helpful conversation.
Very nice video. Thx for putting this together. I have always been very critical of the interview process in general because it always felt like the interview process is to fail the interviewer. Now here we are with top level companies doing it right :-) So good to hear that the interviewer is there to help you get the correct answer. Very encouraging indeed.
This was a wonderful interview. Prasad comes across as a real down to earth guy and your interview was excellently done. Thank you.

Eh, not entirely. Coding interviews have questions that you just need to grind and prepare for, not something you would really get good at through SWE experience. Tons of engineers already working in the industry fail these questions. But ya the experience of having interviewed before and being familiar with the process is definitely an advantage in helping you stay calm and composed.
Greetings from Greece! I completely agree with Prasad, his insight is greatly appreciated.
Very well illustrated. Kudos to you both. Especially Dhaval Patel, unlike other channel's host- You played a very key role in making this really presentable !!! Thanks!
Great content, the interviewee mentioned amazing points. I have interviewed for Microsoft and Amazon both unsuccessfully. Congratulations on cracking 10!!!!
Great interview! To the folks saying he has a lot of experience, that counts for nothing in the interview. Sure, it may get you to the first interview, but after that, you are on your own. Hence, listen to his advice.

Let's all get a US visa I know it's not easy but we can dedicate one year even partly to prepare for this coding interview and learning trending web dev or mobile on the side then we can either go freelancing to save a little or directly start applying for remote job in order to get a work permit and then a Visa , we can do it
The interview structure in India is different in terms of competition , so some tips here are relevant if your looking for a job in India , but most of it like recruiters giving ample amount of time is not true unless its a FANG due to the 60-90 days of notice period in Tech companies

Yash, That's an excuse saying "oh yes he had so much experience and obviously he would get hired". There are people who have years of experience and they find it hard to crack even single interview. Prasad cracked 10 in two months time period. Dude, that is an achievement and he mentioned solid soft techniques during the interview that anyone will find useful. Please watch the video carefully and take action on some of the things he mentioned such as getting paid service for mock interviews, using interviewer at your advantage by being a careful listener etc. I am sure anyone who doesn't have extensive experience would be able to crack interviews after that.

The old ways of doing things are in the past. Beyond the pandemic, many companies will continue to hire remote workers. It saves them some expenses and gives them a larger pool of candidates to work with from all around the world. You have to constantly evolve and change in the industry. Great interview, it was insightful.

It will be great if you can share the resume with us in the description so that we can get more insight from that .
Thank You guys for this interview.
Very useful information shared, thanks for that, he says resume should be one page but the question is what should it contain and what not, especially those who has many years of experience.Any pointers/tips about this would be really helpful Thanks
The baseline is you need to set up a few bookshelves behind when having an interview, maybe can just rent some.

I went through his Linkedin profile, I was shocked to learn that he has 19 years of experience as a techie... He looks very young compared to his experience. I had been thinking till now, it's very difficult to get selected in MAANG kind of companies after certain years of experience, but I got a new ray of hope and belief that I too can attempt for these companies. Nothing is impossible, if you are honest with yourself and put genuine effort in the preparation.

But we Indians first we will study for IIT exam from 9 th class for more than 8 hours a day and followed by we learn coding after joining college and anable to crack top companies like Google, Microsoft interviews! Other countries: they will learn programming from childhood and crack interviews
Can you please add Chapters so it helps the viewers jump on the topic they are interested !
Now with all this info, the only thing remaining is to get an interview call. :)
interestingly this madness of interview preparation would take the next level and soon you would be required to join a training institution (leaving your current employer nowhere) to get the next job. Would these hiring companies mind if their current employee does the same with them? It's madness!
