BREAKING: Internal sources confirm another round of layoffs just hit emails at Tesla. For real.
I've just entered the team matching phase for a Meta London E5 position. I have a few questions: 1. How long has it taken for recent hires to complete this phase? I understand that the process used to be different before the layoffs, with a bootcamp phase. I'm trying to gauge whether it will take more than 1-2 months or less, so that I can decide whether to accept another offer. 2. I would appreciate insights from someone at Meta regarding which teams to avoid for an Infrastructure role (Backend) due to poor work-life balance. 3. Are the expectations for an E5 role very high? I'm coming from an Indian startup and have never worked in big tech. I read a post on Blind that mentioned it can be stressful, with high expectations and a normal 'hire and fire' culture. Also, it seems you need to get up to speed quickly. TC: 150k£ YOE: 5.5 #engineering #software #swe #meta #e5
1. Should find out fast (within a week) if team match is slow; recruiter should send your profile to the teams. If they’re interested, then you’ll know. 3. Yes, higher expectation to ramp up the higher your level is. It’s going to be tough to ramp up as ic5 since there’s a high expectation.
Have you recently joined? At what level are you?
I have to say i'm in MPK but I joined post layoff, so it's possible London might be different - but I doubt it given Meta's move fast mantra.
That TC is for Meta or your current position?
That’s for Amazon that I’ll be joining in a week.
Why don’t u have the same concerns with Amazon? I joined it as L5 SDE and expectation is indeed the same whether you worked in big tech before or in big mama’s bakery, you will be given design tasks or coding tasks with some degree of ambiguity or wide scope and expected to deliver. What I’ve found work is put calendar events on project stakeholders (cause no one in Amazon has tome for you) and these discussions tend to stir you in the right direction. Good luck!
If u wanna get paid you’re gonna have to be ready to put the work in. Instead of looking for a way to get a cush ride you should be asking where you can learn and grow. That’s the mindset that will make you successful here. Also That Amazon offer is 🥜 to what e5 a meta pays
Can you please share interview exp? Especially system design?
