Why can't india and china be friends?
I interned with Meta this past summer as a User Experience Researcher and haven’t been extended a full time offer yet. However, Expedia extended an offer last week. I enjoyed my internship with Meta and would love to return but recruiters have shown a lot of uncertainty about when offers will be extended and just recently, a lot of other interns waiting for return offers got rejected. Any advice on what to do next especially relative to this current market? Should I go with new offer? Should I inform my Meta recruiter about it? TC: 🥜 (grad student)
If you’re early career I recommend taking an offer that you have to start building real experience immediately. Job market next year will be flooded with laid off experienced folks who you’ll be competing with.
Sign the Expedia offer. Meta will most likely never extend that offer, but in case they do you can renege the signed offer.
Having Meta on your resume—even for an internship—will always help shoot your resume to the top. Agree with Autodesk. Now if you already have meta experience, I would go to other stable companies.
There’s nothing to negotiate if you don’t have an offer. Don’t screw yourself over in this market. Take the sure thing and move on.
In this market a job is a job. Sign the offer you’ve got.
you can probably squeeze return internship before full-time?
Graduating next spring, not really looking to do internships anymore. Plus even return internships are still on hold.
you already have meta internship experience just join some fte meta is uncertain now
Does Expedia hire undergrad for UXR typically? I just finished my interview and feel decent about it but I know I’m being stacked against grad students
I’m grad but this role is for both undergrads and grads. Goodluck!
What was the offer for Expedia?
Meta is on a hiring freeze as far as I know …but if you could get that role while the stock is low, you could get very wealthy from your RSUs—if Zuck can stop driving Meta into the ground. But unfortunately UX (especially research) tends to be frozen more so than SWE roles. I know someone from Expedia in UX and they love their job. I’m not sure how much a recession might affect their company but any large company role right out of grad school will help you get experience and will vastly help in a recession if there’s layoffs. Having Meta on your resume—even for an internship—will always help shoot your resume to the top.
Thanks for the great advice. Do you think I should inform my Meta recruiter about the other offer?
You could. It might get them to act quickly
