> Getting those offers doesn’t start when you’ve received your Meta offer. It starts months before. Make sure that you get enough initial conversations with other FAANGs, FAANG-adjacent companies, and late-stage sexy startups to end up with at least one other offer, ideally at least two.
This is insane. This is literally months of work, just for the chance to maybe get a job, maybe with a team you'd like to work for, maybe with a salary that reflects the work you'll be doing.
How badly do people want to work for Meta?
- dekhn 3y agoNot badly enough to respond to the recruiter who keeps nagging me about "ML infra" role there. I went through their process before and it was even worse than Google's.
- boshalfoshal 3y agoMeta outpays pretty much all of FAANG right now, and thats saying a lot when FAANG companies are already in the top [0-5]% of compensation in the US. The uncertainty of joining an unknown team is a little annoying, I'll give you that. But for a 350k - 700k do you really expect their interview process to be a couple of softball calls into an offer? Thats life changing money, and I'm sure many people would be willing to put in a month or two for that. If your insensitive to compensation and more sensitive to the type of work you'll be doing, sure there are better options.
