How to Land a FAANG Software Engineering Job in a Tough Market
Let’s be real—landing a FAANG internship feels like climbing Everest sometimes, doesn’t it? You see all these polished LinkedIn posts about "dream offers" and wonder, How did they even get there? I’ve been there too.
Hi, I’m Lizbeth, a proud graduate of Lamar University (not exactly a name you hear next to "FAANG" every day). But guess what? I landed my first internship—and later a full-time role—at Amazon. And I didn’t do it with luck or connections. I did it with strategy, persistence, and a lot of lessons learned the hard way.
That’s why I created "FAANG-tastic Futures: 5 Power Moves to Land Your Dream Tech Internship",—a guide to help you skip the guesswork and focus on what really works.

Why I Made This Guide
I know what it feels like to think you’re not “enough.” Not from a big-name school, not confident in your skills, not sure where to start. But you are enough—you just need the right tools to show it.
I made this guide because I don’t want anyone to feel like success is out of reach. You deserve to dream big, and I want to help you get there.
