I got an opportunity to interview for L5 Software Engineering role a few weeks ago. I have been busting my ass off on LeetCode cos go big or go home right? I had my first phone chat with the recruiter yesterday, she said it went really well and she that is rooting for me to make it to the end. She also scheduled the time for my first technical screen interview as well as a time for a mock interview before the main one. I got confirmation on all of this yesterday. Then I woke up to an email today saying I’m no longer in consideration. Not really expecting any solid responses from here but I’m posting this because I’m just kind of confused about why they suddenly pulled out #meta
Could be so many things. Internal candidate maybe? Sorry about the disappointment. Something even better will work out.
Thank you
it’s not guaranteed something better will work out but this is by no means an indicator that you should give up
Same boat. DM me.
i got a similar message from the recruiter after tech screen round, that we are ending the process for this role though the interviewer enjoyed talking to me
When was this ?
yesterday
My recruiter has been silent recently. I just met with managers for team matching too and my emails to the recruiter are not being answered
Wow does that even happen aftrr HC approval? Sounds pretty terrible what if you informed current job
It could be due to the long weekend. Even my recruiter said she will be taking off for a few days now.
Meta is prioritizing candidates who are ex meta.
Return of the metamites, paying in a theater near you now.
How do you know this?
Be cordial and let the recruiter know you are interested in other roles. I’ve had great recruiters from Meta which helped me land interviews through ups/downs in hiring.
Meta recruiters are the best. On and off 2 times .
Fwiw i did a full loop and accepted an offer from meta so your issue isn’t universal. That said They better not kill my offer now …
What was your system design question? What level?
E5, not going into specifics on questions asked.
Sorry, this happened to you. I have been through this exact situation (not with Meta) in the past. Roles got filled up while my onsites were ongoing and despite the feedback being positive. Don't lose heart. It is the market for sure. You'll find something better. Best!
You are "bursting" your ass? 😂
Same thing happened to me when I was leetcoding
That happened to me too before, they filled up position alreday maybe?
Good point
This is likely the answer. The company has been very big sticklers for only hiring for a known need
