What's most wild about this is that they're doing this big of a hiring push for a new offering, in just one region of the world.
It's obvious Facebook sees the metaverse as the next big platform, and they want to own it the way Apple and Google own mobile today.
- randycupertino 5y ago> It's obvious Facebook sees the metaverse as the next big platform I could see it- with business conferences and business travel, remote work etc. But I'd rather this go to Skype for business or zoom or linkedin etc or basically anyone else than Facebook.
- version_five 5y agoNow that I think about if, maybe this is just about buying some goodwill in europe by creating jobs?
- astlouis44 5y agoSeems like a likely reason why they’re doing this, wasn’t the whistleblower supposed to testify in Europe? Convenient timing. They’re likely trying to bribe the EU here with the promise of jobs.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoNah, it's probably that now that they are allowing remote for almost all jobs, they now have a much bigger space for recruitment (lots of people in Europe don't want to move to London or Dublin).
- sjg007 5y agoRoblox could win this, they just need to double down.
- astlouis44 5y agoThey easily could, they just need to ship Roblox VR on the Oculus Quest and the upcoming Apple headset.
- sjg007 5y agoI'm not sure FB will let them ship that.. there might be enough demand though to force them. But it will drive Oculus demand thru the roof.. I'd buy at least 3.
