This is my 3rd year in a row for M1 interview at FB, feel exhausted...

I had my interview a couple of weeks back, ang got the following feedback from recruiter (from initial discussion and from the internal system):

Career Conversation Strongest
People management good
Project retro no strong signals

Sys design x 2 mixed bag
Ccoding excellent (solved 2 and got 10 mins spare)

He said more discussions to happen later for a decision.

I feel it will be a third (and probably a final) no, do you feel that there still is a chance?

Thanks

  • M1 has to be slam dunk with few mixed signals to get offer. It’d be easier to go into IC and then laterally move IMO. If you really really really want to join FB

      Hard luck, but of course you are quite close. It’s a numbers game so apply to similar companies maybe - which others in London area pay as well as FB ?

      OP
      It is life, süper annoying, extremely frustrating but got used to it.

      3 years if plans on how to spend my new salary (double my current at least), and how fb would look on my cv, and more importantly the awesome stuff I would learn all went away.

      To be fair, the recruitment process was amazing, recruiter was very very good.

      I have a call eiyh him today to give detailed feedback on how it went.

  • What was the process? Your TC, YOE? What does project retro mean above?

    OP, so you got your initial feedback about 2 weeks after the on-site? Did your packet go to candidate review at all? Or you got the no after debrief?
