Hi, OP here! Thank you all so much for the positive commments. To give some background: I'm a 17 year old student in the UK doing my A-Levels, still deciding what uni to go to and looking for degree apprenticeship options!

- tehlike 3y agoI am going to try referring you for Meta. Can you send me your resume/email/etc to tehlike gmail com?
- 1over137 3y agoWhy would you want to punish the lad with working at Meta?! He seems like a nice chap.
- tehlike 3y agoI want to hire good people to the company i work for. Is that wrong?
- endofreach 3y agoYes, facebook is an evil corporation. Also: stop calling it meta everyone. Don't let them get away with such a poor away to hide their past & also claim a powerful word like that.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoWhy are they evil? And if someone wants to do good for the World, why not join an evil corp to inflict change from within?
- consumer451 3y agoLet's provide solutions in addition to criticisms. What would you recommend OP applies for? What are the pros and cons of the option that you suggest vs. the alternative?
- 91bananas 3y agoA company working on physical products that solve real world needs is where I have found solace.
- melagonster 3y agowhy? op is young, needs more money.
- ClimaxGravely 3y agoWhy? did they say that elsewhere in this thread?
- tehlike 3y agosorry, endofreach, i'll continue to call it Meta or Facebook interchangeably. One is company's legal name, and the other is its major product. As for the evilness, i will not argue. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. For the OP in question, Facebook will provide the best career launch pad, so i will continue to suggest that. I have been to Google and Facebook, so can compare the two.

- DANmode 3y agoNot for your goals, seemingly no.
- DANmode 3y agoI didn't realize you were offering help with internship/apprenticeship. Carry on. OP, definitely cut your teeth in a place like that! Everywhere else afterward will likely feel like a vacation, in comparison.
- maest 3y agoI assume Meta has a referral program where you receive a bonus if your referee gets hired.
- tehlike 3y agoI personally do not care about that, that was not the reason I offered referral. Same reason I referred very little number of people if any in the past.
- ClimaxGravely 3y agoThey do have a referral program and you would presumably benefit from that though? I'm honestly asking because I don't know.
- tehlike 3y agoThey do, yes. There are some rules around the attribution, like if recruiters have reached in some capacity in the past xx months without an outcome, you may still not get an award, I believe.
- internetter 3y agoDoes Meta hire 17 year olds? Edit: oh, is this degree apprentice thing a UK thing I'm not familiar with?
- JakeSkii 3y agoHi, I've sent you an email.
- tehlike 3y agoand sent you a response! good luck!
- tfsh 3y agoI did a degree apprenticeship at a FAANG company and was lucky to transition into a full time role there. It heavily depends upon the company, however my advice is that an apprenticeship at a well respected company goes much further than uni (bar Oxbridge) in terms of immediate job prospects. I'd be very happy to talk more about this w/ you - email in my desc.
- JakeSkii 3y agoSent you an email!
- sirsinsalot 3y agoMy ReMarkable thanks you. You're doing great. Keep going. .. And if you go into IT learn about contract negotiations and finances
- Uptrenda 3y agoBright future ahead. Good luck
- JakeSkii 3y agoThank you!
- Narushia 3y agoGood job! How long did it take you to achieve the XSS?
- JakeSkii 3y agoAround 4/5 hours if I recall correctly. It was over a year ago so not 100% sure.
