Meta still hiring contractors!

Given most budget cuts to agency contracts have been executed, anything being recruited for now is likely safe and aligned to *current* priorities. That’s not to say it won’t get deprioritized in these next 2 months as the re-orgs happen, so there’s still risk. How much do you need the money right now since you were laid off? If you’re in a bind, take it; if you have a good chunk of savings and can survive, I’d pass until this layoff wave is complete.

Also got a reach out for a Meta contract role and see a lot of open ones listed on their site. Mostly for Realty Labs roles, hard pass

Y’all do yourself a favor and laugh those outreaches off literally.

Definitely don’t entertain it. I also had a search firm reach out for a contracting role at meta this week (and I’m still here).

I’d be leary about anything right now

Yeah I wouldn’t consider it but do you!

Because they can still show off the layoffs to Wall Street.

I’m currently a contractor for Meta with my contract ending soon, I decided not to extend it. During both layoffs the agencies were totally clueless and so will continue recruiting since it’s in their best interest to, not yours. Meta are doing a huge restructuring right now, so I would pass on it if you can do without the money.

The only time I’d say yes to a contract role at Meta is if you’ve never worked at a FAANG company. Being a contractor was necessary for me to skyrocket into my career.
