Amit Fulay, Microsoft's Vice President of Product, shared his experience of facing job rejections from companies like Google and Facebook in a LinkedIn post.
Fulay revealed that Google rejected him after 13 interviews over two rounds. Despite a brief reevaluation, he received a rejection email three days later.
Facebook (Meta) rejected Fulay during its early days, citing his lack of sufficient 'social' experience as the reason.
Fulay provided a 5-point guide for job seekers based on his experiences, emphasizing that rejection is not final, applicants are not alone, sometimes one is not good enough, sometimes the stars won't align, and it could always be a 'lucky miss.'
