So during my internship search for summer 2021, I spammed applications to a lot of big tech companies. I eventually got a good internship at a enterprise tech company (think Oracle or SAP) but I wanna know if spamming applications to FAANG and the likes was a bad decision. For example, I spammed 10-12 applications to companies like Microsoft and Facebook, 15-20 applications at companies like Adobe and VMware and over 25 applications to Amazon lol. I was able to make it past phone screen for few positions at Amazon but didn’t get an offer. Now that I will have a fairly good brand name on my resume, I think I have a fair chance of scoring an interview at big tech companies for new grad roles next year. But will excessive internship applications count against me? Any insights from recruiters will also be greatly appreciated. #tech #faang #facebook #Apple #amazon #Microsoft #google #SWE
Nobody cares. Duplicate applications probably got filtered out by applicant tracking system. Don't worry about it and good luck!
I literally stopped working for 6 months, made bare minimum effort to not get fired for job abandonment and when they did fire me, I didn't payback the sign on and moving bonus. They were calling me 1 year later to interview. And after 1 year of hounding, I accepted and got a higher level and double the pay I had before. This was at Amazon.
I call bullshit on this. If you were pivoted, you would be marked as a do not rehire. In order for anyone to override this, you need VP approval and a slew of other sign offs (especially after a year). Doubtful sir.
It was not pivot, I was forced to resign. Honestly, I don't care if you believe me. From a business perspective, companies would be screwed if they blacklisted candidates. There is such a hiring shortage they are near desperate to get anybody.

I choose the option that you are out of luck. You’re file stays with these companies forever. Try again next life.
