My friends and I used to joke that Amazon is like a travel agency for developers after we saw so many people move to Seattle to work there and then change jobs after a year or two. I would start there.
I did apply to Amazon and get an on site interview, but I did not perform as well as I should have that day unfortunately. I'm kinda at a loss right now in what to do, so I'm trying to figure out what I can do to talk companies who are hiring devs. I figured Seattle is where I should start as it would be cheaper for me in general to live there while I search, though SF bay area may be a better start in terms of # of companies who are looking.
There are hundreds of teams at Amazon that are hiring. Just because you failed to make it in one team does not mean you can't apply again to other roles.
There are numerous other options in the area as well. Some off the top of my head are Google, Facebook, MS, Splunk, SEOmoz, Expedia, and Salesforce.
Yes! I should have thought of that. You can't look at Amazon or Microsoft or Google as one company, they are all lots of little companies, and rejection from one doesn't necessarily mean rejection from all.
Alright guys thanks! I guess when university recruiting tells you apply again in 6 months, you'd think that means apply again to the company in 6 months.
Ah, I should have checked Craigslist before. Thanks for that!
I wouldn't know where to start with Biotech quite honestly as there are so many different areas in it right now. Machine Learning seems to be big in that area as well as others, so that appears to be a good place to start. I have a Statistics degree, so maybe I should be applying to those companies.
