Hey first post here, if not in right place feel free to correct me.

Starting my Leetcode journey and about 3 weeks in. I'm starting to look at Google job descriptions to get an idea of the requirements they list so I can start working toward those. The closest I found to an L3 position was: https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/94504449189257926-staff-software-engineer-android/?hl=en_US&jlo=en_US&location=United%20States&q=Software%20Engineer%20II - maybe thats a totally wrong position to be looking at?

My question is, are there other requirements I should be working on for an entry level swe position with Google. If anyone has a link to a correct job description that would be very helpful.

Also I'm sure they want multiple years expirence which I will not have, is there a way around this? Will being able to solve problems effectivley outweight years of expirence?

And are FAANG companies usually open to remote work? I live in Maine USA so I'm not close to any of them at the moment, Boston being the closest. What is the typical in person requriement for an entry level position - not including covid times.

Thanks for any info!
