I resisted getting one out of principle till I realised this. Landed a job at FANG ~7 years ago after doing so and that $30 subscription has probably paid for itself 20,000x over at this point.


What is the principle?


Why would the subscription matter if you're not even getting interviews? The only relevant metric is your personal network, everything else is done.


Even referrals have to go through the interview process at every company I’ve ever worked for.

A lot of referrals would not make it past interviews because they thought they were going to be handed the job without question and came unprepared.


I currently work at a FAANG and applied through the normal site. I didn't apply for years until I attended a Google event and a recruiter just told me to apply on the website.
