I recently interviewed for an IC7 PM at Meta for a specific role after talking to the hiring manager. Following the interviews, the recruiter said my packet is strong but the role was given to an internal candidate. She made it sound like with time there is a very high chance to find a role if I give it time. (Could be 3-9 months), she is actively working with me on finding relevant roles. Is this common? I’m in no rush to start but was to calibrate my expectations of chances to get into Meta with time.
Were the questions LC tagged?
Same here, passed IC SWE e7 interviews, but two out of three relevant roles were filled by the time I finished interviewing, and the third one was simply closed without hiring anyone. It’s been a few weeks now, so I’m skeptical and interviewing at other places.
What can you infer from recruiter’s comments? Do you have hope? E7 pipeline perhaps won’t be very high, bottleneck is mostly at E5
I have referrals at meta. Asked them to lookup what’s available and send it to recruiter. There’s very few roles left open and they are outside of my area of expertise.
I failed system design and strong hire on algos. Meta kept hitting me up. They’ll reach out again if you had strong signals.
Updated the post. The recruiter is actively working with me on finding other roles.
I read that Meta already reached headcount goals for this year and they have many candidates, so perhaps the wait can last until next year
