Google & Facebook have tons of candidates so they create artificial bareers to pick who they end up hiring. It's not enough to be good at doing the job, you have to become good at getting the job which is very different.

So my advice is learn the details on how they hire, consider that as obstacles and hack your way around them.

There are way more than one way to do that, it's too long ago that I was a junior for it to be relevant.

I would say identify something you find really cool that someone a couple of years before you is doing, and ask them for advice. Then went through your struggles more recently than I did
