Hi Manasa,

First of all FAANG are not the only Product companies out there.

Secondly, read about what are GCC in IT companies.

Now, after that you will know the difference, If you want to go towards FAANG and similar companies..DSA is important

But, If you want to get into Product based companies basic DSA would work and you mentioned decent DEV skills..then I can help you with that.

Same situation I had faced during my company switch, so having better outlook and how the things work.

Also, you are using JAVA, am into same Tech so you can consider joining mentorship program..

Thank You

Yup! Would love to help you out. What kind of project is it? And what are the timelines for the submission for this project. Would love to know more about this. Feel free to book a free trial session for discussing further.

Hi Manasa, to get interview calls, you need to tailor your resume according to the role and start networking along with DSA preparation. Would like to know more about your projects and preparation to help you better. Feel free to book a trial session to discuss further.

Hello Manasa,

First of all, great to hear that you're already practicing DSA in Java and building projects — that’s the right start!

Now coming to your question — getting your resume shortlisted for product-based companies needs a mix of the right content and the right strategy. Here are a few quick tips:

▪️ Make sure your resume is ATS-friendly (no fancy designs, proper keywords)

▪️ Highlight DSA practice (LeetCode/Codeforces handles + solved count)

▪️ Showcase your projects with impact (include GitHub + LinkedIn links)

▪️ Add a strong summary section that matches the job role

▪️ Start doing cold outreach to employees or recruiters on LinkedIn

But to be honest — every candidate has a slightly different situation. That’s why I invite you to a free trial session where I’ll:

▪️ Review your resume personally

▪️ Check your LinkedIn

▪️ And help you build a customized plan to get interview calls faster
