Rotational Swe is short term 1 year position, with 85% chances (as per the recruiter) to convert it to full time.

Is it a good option?
I am non-resident so don't want to risk being unemployed at the end of the year period.

  • 1. The recruiter is lying to you. If the hiring chance was really 85% FB would have taken the 15% hit in favor of hiring 85% of talent which is so hard to come by.
    2. You should take it anyway because you'll learn a lot and it will open up doors in the future. No one outside will know about the rotational bullshit

  • Yes it is a good option. I went through the program and finished early. I don’t have any regrets. I really wanted to work at Facebook so I figured a 1 year offer where Facebook is aiming to have me succeed there would be great and worst comes to worst, if you don’t get an offer, facebook is on your resume

    Well even if you are in the rotational program, you should be interviewing as the 12 month time mark approaches. You would ideally have a couple of offers + conversion offer.
