Hello, If I got a referral from Meta but then resume rejected, is there a cooldown period? Or can I just try again with a different email/referral? I’m a new grad, but with 4 months of experience so I don’t think I have much time before I can’t try for E3 anymore :/. Don’t know if I can wait 6 more months. Should I try to cold message/email Meta recruiters? I have LinkedIn premium right now. I already did top 100 Meta tagged + Blind 75 (400 LC in total) assuming I’d at least be given a chance to do a phone, so I don’t want my prep to go to waste. I also graduated from a T25 university with a math degree, but I think my lack of swe internships is hurting me (pursued finance internships throughout college). Would greatly appreciate any insight/clarity, thank you so much.
I was stuck in a similar situation. I think it’s the company name- Infosys. I’d try and get into a mid tier company first and then try again to apply to Meta
But then should I just leave the name out? I’ve only been here for 4 months anyway…
There is no cool down period for resume being rejected. Mine was also rejected for infra role but my friend (who was offered a role) pinged his recruiter and shared my profile with them and eventually, I got a call
Ok thank you! So ig I’ll keep trying to get a phone round then
There is no harm in trying for sure. Also, as someone else said, I think it's better to apply and get into a mid tier company and then to a top tier company. The only reason is that I've seen a couple of friends getting rejected for top tier companies a lot. But if you get a call and crack the interview, that's great too. So apply to everything but don't be disappointed if you don't get any callbacks.
Whats E3?
It’s facebooks new grad swe level, like Google L3, or Amazon L4
