Strong correlation bw onsite-to-offer rate and offer yield rate (% of candidates who accept their offers). The more selective the company is, the less likely a candidate is to accept their offer. Candidates that pass interviews at FAANG are likely to have other attractive offers. pic.twitter.com/rWe6jxjJKX
