I graduated CodeSmith in July and just signed my first offer w/out a college degree - AMA

Hi! Thanks so much for doing a public AMA! Hopefully these aren't duplicates, I just read through the others quick! 1. What was it in the 14 other "Phone Screenings" that held you back from proceeding to the next rounds? 2. This is a tough question but did you go the route of really boosting your OSP project on your resume and in interviews? Or did the company fully know in interviews it was an OSP project and not a real job and was supportive of that? 3. Did you get a midlevel or senior role? I noticed Codesmith ramping down their language about 95% of people getting midlevel and senior jobs. 4. Would you consider your new company a FAANG company, or do you see it as a starter job?
