I interviewed with Meta DS product role last month. I did well in my interviews but with the HC issue, I am not able to get an offer at this moment. The current timeline about HC open up is unknown. Recruiter suggested other data roles at Meta, PGA or DE. Anyone in a similar situation? Should I wait until HC open up? #meta #ds #hc #freeze #data #datascience #dataanalytics
Same here. Heard the “waitlist” is ridiculously long so will just try again next year as I’m not in a hurry to jump
Well the market for analytics is super saturated and only a few firms seem to pay well for it (meta,uber etc.) . Im skeptical about the future of dsa to be honest.
I heard the opposite of that too.
Skeptical as well about the future of DSA. Feel like lot of people managed to transition to this field smoothly, which explains why the market is super saturated
Is this only for DS or DE as well ?
Don’t know about DS but I saw on Linkedin some managers posting open positions within their teams for DE
DE will never get frozen. The shortage of SQL devs is insane.
Wait, I’m about to interview for this role…why are they interviewing if there’s a freeze?
What’s your yoe

Mildly worried now. I did a final round for IC5/6 and the recruiter has been radio silent for 3 weeks. I did well though not amazing so at this point if I’m not leveled to L6 it looks like it’s a no go. Dang.
YOE for IC6? @nextmoveup
Years Of Experience
I finished my IC5 onsite in early March and heard the same about headcount constraints. I was redirected to other DS roles and PGA. As for Product DS, my recruiter said I wasn’t rejected but my portal status flipped and GraphQL says I have been rejected. My recruiter says when headcount opens up in 6-12 months I should be able to move to an offer? It’s all really confusing. For what it’s worth I know IC5s who interviewed after me and got offers in 1-2 weeks. It seems like they’re just being very selective about who gets the remaining spots.
Happened to me in 2019, the 6-12 month thing is bs and never make it there.
What is PGA?
Same thing happened with me too. I had my onsite scheduled for PGA ic3/ic4 and they canceled all interviews due to headcount. I wouldn’t wait for them, they said they don’t expect it to happen in the next 6 months. Meta has the worst HR process!
PGA IC4 should still have open HC if you're in CA. NY does appear to be full though
What’s pga?
HC?
Headcount I believe
Hiring committee
Ask the recruiter if you sought after the DE role instead, you dont have to interview again or not.
Don’t think this is necessarily true, I know someone who had to go through a few more rounds to get a DE offer.
My bad, what I meant is ask the recruiter if they need to re interview for the DE role or not

I thought the freeze was only IC4 DS?
That was also my understanding
Yes it’s only IC4 that’s frozen. I confirmed this with the recruiter. IC5 offers are being given at a constricted pace tho.
