I was told by a referral specialist at Facebook that they are hiring only for 5+ years experience as of now and hiring for 1-3 exp is frozen. How true is that ?

    Rumor is that they hired too many new grads and no seniors to lead them.

    I know that they have more U-days lined up for late oct and early November, I mean why interview if you’re not going to hire.

    You have to working as a senior engineer already in comparable companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon. Lot of companies titles are inflated so look at levels.fyi.

      Yes there is a hiring freeze. That’s what she said explicitly, but then said there was just 1 team hiring e4’s , so I was hopeful about that
