Is the job market finally heating up?
How to get into FB what do you look for in candidates?
Is it a good strategy for a candidate to give out a number when asked โwhat is your expected salary? โ How should they go about this question?
Since you skipped my question, I am going to assume itโs not a good strategy :)
Missed this! I think it's a good strategy. Aim high and have a reason for it. Ie. you're walking away from unvested equity, a bonus, you have competing offers, etc..
How much does a Masters degree matter vs only a bachelors?
This can vary from team to team and I would imagine by company. There are plenty of solid engineers making a lot of money with a BA.
Is it true that FB isnโt hiring students with only one or two more years of OPT left?
Can confirm this.
Is calibra hiring at E4? https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/1517831068357254/
I'm not sure, but normally most of the ic4 hiring constraints are lifted at the beginning of the year. I would reach out to your contact in december.
Is it true that there is no headcount for folks with less than 5 years experience at FB right now? (Which is what the recruiter reached out to me mentioned last week.)
Yes, this happens every year. The reason is that we need to ensure we have a good balance of sr. IC's and jr. IC's. We want to make sure people are set up for success and so it's important to have Sr. folks who can help mentor Jr. engineers.
Does FB hire SDEs in Canada?
We do not, unfortunately.
Why do recruiters ghost? Why canโt recruiters openly tell that the position is unavailable when they reached out themselves to a candidate?
There are a lot of bad recruiters out there. If this happens, and you know someone who works at the company you should provide that feedback. Especially at facebook, it will get back to the right channels. This should be corrected immediately.
Is it true that recruiters get paid as much as devs?
Not true. I believe the base is comparable but not equity. Some companies like Facebook have really generous performance multipliers. Senior, top performing recruiters stand to make a lot of cash.
