Ishan, I'm going after a role on Omar Faroque's team at Meta, and a conversation with him first would make a real difference. An intro from you would carry far more weight than a cold application. Can you connect us? I'll send a short blurb on my background you can forward.

How job seekers use Happenstance
A referral beats a hundred applications. Here's what job seekers use Happenstance for day to day.
Just say what you're looking for
You don't have to spell out your background. Happenstance already knows where you've worked and who you know, so even a vague search comes back tailored to you.
See who you already know at the company
Happenstance searches everyone you've emailed, met, and worked alongside, plus your friends' networks. Old classmates count, and so do the people who never became LinkedIn connections.
Get referred, not rejected
A referral means a person reads your resume instead of a filter. Point it at the team you want, and it finds your warmest path in and drafts the ask.

Walk into every interview briefed
Happenstance researches the people on your calendar automatically: their background, their work, and who you know in common, before every call.
