I’ll be joining Facebook on December 9th. However, I have a holiday trip planned around Christmas time. Does anyone know how the holidays are treated within bootcamp and team matching? I’m wondering if I should just push my start date to after the new year at this point. Any insight would be greatly appreciated y’all! #facebook
Join and get paid firing the holidays. Postpone team matching to after the holidays
When do headcounts for 2022 get allocated? Will someone going through team match in early January be able to apply to those new roles or will they still be applying to existing roles from 2021 that were not filled?
Thanks for the advice. Is this normal/not frowned upon? This is definitely my preferred option!
I was in a similar situation starting at FB. Original start date was in December but I asked the recruiter if I could push the start to the first week of January, and they were accommodating.
You can take vacation during bootcamp.
Congrats OP on the offer - I have a related question regarding a start date in Dec. Here is the info from the recruiter, regarding the bonus eligibility - "To be eligible for the second semi-annual bonus that is paid in Q1 the following year, you must have started to work full-time on or before December 31 and received a paycheck in the second half of the prior year." So with a start date in December, will it make you receive a paycheck before Dec 31 - so that you are eligible? Or will the check date (of December) be on Jan 1 (or later)? Also, does FB payroll pay monthly or semi-monthly? Do they do different schedules for CA, WA, or NY?
Push it, enjoy your holidays before starting.
