Is a very hard to convert and is it a black mark on my profile basically? I’m hearing a lot of rumors that people look down on contractors in Meta.
How do you even get a contract role at meta?
As far as I know, you will be considered just like a new external candidate. At least you know Meta better and may know systems better
Meta will look down upon you. Others will look down upon you if you tell them you’re a contractor… or were one. Butttt you don’t have to. Aaaand the upper hand of being involved in Meta and seeing interview docs and asking for mock interviews with your colleagues who screen and interview candidates will sharpen you for interviews at meta and elsewhere.

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
There’s definitely some stigma against ex-contractors from some quarters. But by-and-large it shouldn’t directly affect you much. And no one will know/care after you convert to FTE.
