Meta WAS a good place to work. Post 2022 it has become a stressful over worker pip factory with unsustainable career and looming layoffs. The high TC carrot 🥕 is in stocks and your tenure will be hard to sustain given current circumstances. If you’re single and able to work 15 hours a day, it might be a good place to destroy your personal time and youth. What’s the point of high tc when you need mental healthcare and shrink appointments and medication for anxiety? Trust me the gray hairs and rat race are not worth it. I’ve seen this in many folks here, nothing makes them happy anymore. Look for sustainable jobs and don’t make decisions solely on TC. Money is good only if you have the mental health to enjoy spending it otherwise the banks will be the only ppl to enjoy Your money. Also immigration wise they do NOT do perms despite attempts. Anyways just my 2 cents. Enjoy leetcoding. #software #engineering #meta
Wait meta doesn't do perms anymore?
Perm applications will be rejected when there is a recent layoff. The perm process is to certify the company cannot find US labor and need to hire a non-US person instead. Layoff means the company is overstaffed and there will be questions from DOL why the company needs additional labor and it will be difficult for the company to justify. So companies doing layoffs won’t initiate perm cases right the moment.
And this is true for any other company in US. So you can ignore that statement from OP’s post
Is it remote?
Nope, have a few friends working there. They have to go in 3 times a week at least
There is remote, its just restricted to E6+
What team / org are you on?
I heard there might be another reorg happening. Is there any truth to this?
Lol, or just learn to pick a good team? TC 420k 3 YOE, IC4 35 hours / week DM me for referrals (I can only refer people with 6+ YOE).
I can attest to this, and yes, mental health issues related to job stress are surprisingly high amongst meta and amazon employees. I had to speak with shrink and even anxiety medication to deal with the constant fear of uncertainty and impact. TC is high, but so is the cost to your health.
isnt this already known to everyone about meta ?
What’s new?
Yeah but that TC is too juicy to pass on. It’s stressful but not end of the world if you get pipped.
Not if you are on a work visa or have family to feed and mortgage to pay. Not everyone on this app is a 22 yo
Work visa is understandable but if you have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay you need to sort out your personal finances and obligations based on what money you have saved, not on how much money you're making.
Rip working overtime to destroy society
Thanks for your concern, Jackson Dawson. I am sure your jquery webapp is a much better product.
My company causes no harm to society because we have no power to do so. Better than Meta which acts like it is good for society while burying all internal data that shows it isn’t.
