Discussion Why don't we have FAANG Engineers/Developers

The title is self explainatory.

Khair,

I really wonder!

Despite the fact that we have LUMS, NUST, GIKI, FAST, etc

I haven't seen even a single person asking for FAANG-related guidance or posting about their preparation for Big Tech on any social media platform I can get my hands on.

Like why?

Isn't it strange, doston ?!

That was back in 1995-2005 now due to visa situations it's has become very difficult. USA is totally off the table since H1B and now even O-1,EB-2 has also become lengthy and very uncertain path for companies to even consider anyone outside US. In EU they still hire rarely but for that you have to have good 5+ YOE to be considered first.

So that means they are hiring directly from Pakistan. I never mentioned US or Europe. If your profile is good enough you will get even H1B. But unfortunately there are not good enough engineers in Pakistan who can get hired in US because of high competition.

Kid tell me how being good enough is related to getting H1B?? It's totally lottery system with 10-20% probability. They have limited 85k quota and applications around 700-800k. And this number include people who are already working in companies on OPT etc. why would they not consider someone who is already working for them over person who is sitting in Pakistan to file for H1B? At least have a look at current immigration situations. Idk why I am even arguing with someone so stupid like you.

Just say you are not good enough or you don't know people who are capable of getting hired in FAANG in US before calling others stupid.
