My onsite interview was cancelled by FB because of no headcount. Does that mean I have to start again from scratch if the headcount opens up or I can pick up where I left off? Any chances of getting a direct onsite call again in the near future?

    So glad I got an offer at Amazon. Fuck these head count games that Google and Facebook play. I know every company does it, but it's obnoxious to go through all that preperation and effort just to be told "you don't have enough YOE for positions we have HC for" after you're in the middle of the people

      Yeah how dare them try to fill head count at the same time you're interviewing at other companies.

      Huh? No I mean like I got reached out by the recruiters, and at least in Google's case made it all the way through the onsite and was told there wasn't enough head count. In any office.

      So I interviewed with other companies after that.. Facebook at least told me straight up nobody below 5 YOE and then amazon was quick and painless.
