Heard from recruiter that there is a boot camp for product designer besides regular team match-offer road.
wondering if anyone experienced it and what’s the pro/con of doing team match then offer v.s take offer and then boot camp for team match?#design #interviews #ui/ux

    The recruiter is wrong. There's potential to be pre-allocated to a specific team. There's also a lot of mobility opportunity if you're senior (even ahead of the recommend timeline of 1 year). Meta will work to retain you and make you happy, find the right fit, if you're good.

    Either way, the process is to join Design Camp for the first week. Learn tools, etc.

    There isn’t a boot camp. There’s design camp, which is simply some orientation classes specifically for design.

    Wasn’t aware of a bootcamp. I know there is a Design Camp for a week after NHO. I wouldn’t call that a bootcamp like engineering has.

    +1 I'm in the same boat wondering about this.

    So far my best guess is to think like this:

    If you have other offers and team/product fit is a big factor you'd want to know the team ahead of joining.

    If you team match after joining you get more time to learn about products/teams before making that decision but it would also be a bit stressful to start without having that q settled, and maybe there's some slight risk you do t find a great fit and end up in suboptimal team and now its too late for other offers you had while interviewing.

    Wanted to follow up on this. I’m on the same boat expecting an offer and confused about the boot camp vs matching to a team before the offer period.
