The only thing I’ve learned at meta was how to use meta tooling. Some things no other companies use. The company does not have the prestige it once had, and probably won’t have a future much longer. Screw this company TC 340k
Have you worked anywhere else? Every large company has their own bespoke tools that you must use to be effective in their ecosystem. Grow up.
I’ve worked at amazon and LinkedIn. Both of which uses tools that the rest of the industry uses…
Amazon uses Brazil, which nobody else uses, among other things.
Tooling at most major tech follow a sort of pattern. If you are just clicking buttons to get it to work, then probably, your specific experience is worthless.
Every company is like that. I bet you'd feel even more annoyed working at google. But distributed systems and scaling concepts are transferrable skills
Let me guess you work on www?
are you an intern?
No. I'm your daddy.
If you can’t find somewhere else to apply PHP, C++, or Python then the problem is you
Google is worse than any other company at this imo.
I don’t doubt it. And once again still not the same prestige it once had.
Op have you looked at hft / quant firms?
Have they tried ping pong tables and free pizza?
Yeah, eng is the most transferable skills. Most of the stack is so badly obfuscated that you might have bad time mapping it oss analogues. But eng is weak here coz all we do is psc and politics…
Forgot to mention you are 1 YOE making 340K now and over 400K when stock was up
I have 4-5 YOE and meta is not my first company.
What kind of tooling are you referring to? Just internal admin dashboard type stuff?
