Were you looking for work when FB approached you either time? If so, why would you take yourself out of the running given you’re (I’m assuming) an experienced developer?
- kerng 5y agoSome value ethics and social implications of their doings more than compensation. I had passed interview at Facebook and didn't join, because it seemed like not a good idea to work on ads and manipulation of masses without clear alternative business plan that would actually also do good in the world.

Young people are just smarter.” -- Mark Zuckerberg The interesting thing to me is that Facebook is primarily used by older people (over 40) who are not represented in the coding and ui decisions. Their inability to get a handle on political speech is evidence to me of this. Their employees lack real world experience and wisdom.
- RickJWagner 5y agoYeah, young Zuckerberg would never have said that out loud. He's definitely lost a step. :)

- okareaman 5y agoI was looking for work, but Facebook is notoriously ageist. I wasn't going to waste my time going to an interview where I would certainly be eliminated because of my age.

- okareaman 5y agoYou said it better than I did
- itsokimbatman 5y agoI’ve had FB bugging me off and on and I can’t get rid of them. If I were desperate and they were my only suitor I guess I would do what I had to, but I honestly have no desire to work for them.
