I reach the interview stage every time, every time I mess it up, everytime i get rejected even though I passionately want to work for the company and the role. I just don't know. I just want to cry
I got rejected by Facebook three times too. Now, I am glad they rejected me.
But why?
Someone dodged a bullet
Was it the coding, design, behavior? Identify the part to work on and put that passion into practicing. No one said it is easy and it is common to attempt more than once.
Passion to work for a company does not mean you'd succeed there. Maybe instead of focusing on joining the political and anti-privacy behemoth you need to consider what skills you're lacking? Firstly you need to be confident, if you're right in your answer but you're hand wavy and don't commit that means you belong in a government position. Get confident about answering and thinking confidently. I guess leet code some more since the companies who value that think being autistically able to solve micro challenges is going to be an indicator of how you act in a team. Show general improvement, you've gotten 3 interviews at FB so you're doing something right. Many many people can't even get one. So suck it up and realize you're better off than most who don't even get a rejection after blasting their resume up the ass of every hiring manager hoping one takes the bait.
This is fucking stupid, Leetcode is a very poor example of how well someone could do at a company. You could be totally on the ball, passionate, hardworking etc and just not be able to solve these stupid problems. I find your advice pretentious and terrible.
@microsoft lol. All this was started by Microsoft way back in the 2000s.
I wonder if you’d cry more under high pressure team at F/A after getting into them...
How did you fuck up each time? What mistakes did you make? Also, you should be glad that you are not working for Facebook. That place drives people's mental health to hell.
It’s not that great. Trust me. I thought I believed in the mission too, I was using all their products daily. I even joined a great team that I wanted to join even before I got to fb. But most people here are stressed and unhappy.
Facebook for work sounds like a very unpleasant way to do business.
Consider yourself lucky. Another guy working for FB committed suicide a few days back.
Was it a regular person or a sjw that had an identity crisis and got called the wrong pronoun at work? Suicide ain't a joke but there could have been some red flags beforehand
Watch the tech lead’s video on it

> sorry I couldn't understand that
Why is everyone obsessed with Fb? TC, perhaps but I interned there as SWE and would not go back. Most I would Do is leverage the offer for a higher pay elsewhere. Or if no one matches I’m honestly fine not getting that 50k-100k extra money. Management is the worst I’ve ever seen. As a freshman, my manager didn’t even talk to me for an entire summer unless I pestered him? Like yes I should have grown a pair and been more aggressive at asking him more questions but it rly speaks out to how inept management is (it’s their job to mentor....and he knew I was super noob ). This is also really common from my friends. Some managers tell their employees “stop pestering me with useless questions” also not abnormal. Then there’s the culture - I was “pressured” (socially) to “hack” every damn week of my internship. Everyone talks about hacking + tech 24/7, it’s triggering.Like bruh, let me chill with friends and have a life outside hacking all night for Facebook?? It’s hard though, when every damn person talks about what they’re gonna hack on Friday night lol. Ofc it’s ur decision whether u want to participate but it’s still annoying when the culture silences Anyone who doesn’t want to hack. Also, does anyone think Fb is innovative in its product? Lol, I mean, it’s privacy hacking skills are top notch (man those ads are creepily on point) but does anyone “love” the product? Anyways, that was a long rant but it really isn’t as great as it seems depending on the person. Ok rant over. But it makes me sad when ppl really idealize Fb. *using someone else’s account, no affiliated with McKinsey (I actually joined google and my experiences there have been great).
It's ok. Believe in yourself. You are destined for Albertsons. Facebook is nothing.
I hope OP is familiar with the meme otherwise this comment is just going to sound like kicking someone while they’re already down.
Gavin is that you?!
