Starting my first year at Facebook. What recommendations do you have to set myself up for success? Have a four year horizon for the usual reasons. Starting as E5. (Tagging companies which have a good chance of having the most current and ex FB employees. Others feel free to comment as well please. )
Bend over and let your manager have it.
WTF. Take your time on team matching. Talk to the manager and eng extensively. Sit with them, join their meetings, groups, have lunch with them, feel out if that's the environment you want to be in. Your bootcamp mentor will probably try to rush you through (so they can have less meetings and things to worry about) but I would say it's probably the best time in FB. Try out at least 2 teams before deciding.

Have fun, work smart, not hard, have more fun, pick a good manager/team, make a lot of friends.

Your manager wants to pitch you, it reflects well on them. Identify some metric - define one if thereβs nothing appropriate. Then move it. Gaming it is normal.
