Hello, I would really like to work at Netflix since I saw they just put up a posting for a newgrad role. I'm a former amazon intern, I've done about 120ish LCs, I feel pretty confident in them so haven't done more than that. T4 school 3.8GPA I would really like a strong referral to Netflix Thank you, #netflix #referrals #newgrad
I have a close friend who went to Netflix as an "intern" (technically contractor), and then joined there full-time as a new grad. That was back when they technically had no "new grad" job openings. So it's definitely possible, but he just cold contacted a ton of hiring managers until he persuaded one to take him. If you want, I can forward your resume to him. If you send a link to your Google scholar page, it would be good too.
Did he dm them on LinkedIn?
No, I am not sure if people generally reply to random LinkedIn messages? A lot of people from our school's CS department go work at Netflix, if you worked in the same lab as a student researcher, or TA'd the same class, you can easily find some "excuse" to contact them.
Netflix have new grad role? Never heard of it.
yes
Yeah just saw the post π
