🇪🇺🎓Any chance to get into FAANG for eu cs new grad?

Question

Hi,I am a CS master student in France and I'm going to graduate in September. Due to the limitation of the program, I was not able to apply for an internship at FAANG and it seems now that there is no chance to enter FAANG as new grad. 🙁Should I try to apply for an internship after my graduation to hope get a return offer? Is it possible for me to apply directly for a junior position with 1 YOE? But I didn't see any open position for that.Or should I find a local French company and tried to apply for FAANG after couple of years?Do you have any suggestions? I appreciate it a lot.About me: I have been working for 1 year at a top tech company in China before this master program. My bachelor was in cs and  master in big data. I want to apply for software engineer position.

Yeah it's very hard these days to get a job in the US coming from France. But try also local in Europe: London, Zurich, Luxembourg, Amsterdam. You can also try in Canada they hire strong French grads too! Just build your experience maybe target Fintech or Startup companies between 100 and 500 employees. With a strong experience you may even even get hired at higher level at FAANG without going through a promotion process

The issue with internships at FAANG is that a lot of them (almost all of them) require you to be in school during the internship. They can't take graduates for internship roles due to the way a lot of them have outlined their intern programs.

It's probably worth applying anyways, but I'd probably focus your energy on finding a role with a French company and then aiming for FAANG later.

The most important question is: FAANG in their sillicon valley headquarters or local EU branches?
