@CGamesPlay how did you get a job at Facebook being a college dropout and why did you drop out of University of Central Florida?

  After doing an internship at Facebook in college, I received a full-time offer for after I graduated. I never really felt like college was for me and so I asked if they could extend me an offer immediately rather than waiting until graduation.

    I think we may have met on the FB campus when I was visiting some of other UCF interns at FB. I was interning at SFDC back then.

    Does internship to employment transformation imply easier interview process overall? i.e. rather than apply to full-time position directly. Another concern - does this also imply the offer with a below average compensation?

Not necessarily easier, but having 12 weeks of experience working with me gives the company much more context on my software engineering skills than 4 hours of interviews does. > Another concern - does this also imply the offer with a below average compensation? I don't think so. Anecdotally, I've heard that recruiters have pretty fixed packages for newgrads and that I was given a newgrad package.
