Update on myFacebook/Meta interview:

Got rejected. lol

The first interviewer was a dick to me and I sensed it since he kept pushing me back a lot and wanted things his way.

But anyway, it was a nice learning experience for me. I spent more time on preparing for them then I should have. No regrets though.

Life learning.

    After every step they asked for feedback.

    They said, 'your feedback is anon and won't impact your candidacy'

    Lol I knew it does impact but I was raw and wrote the truth about the interviewer and they rejected me.

    Moreover, gonna write a lot of glassdoor reviews this evening.

    So much task to do.

    @Floydimus I would title my review "FB of all places claming your interview feedback is anonymus". Nothing can be anon if these fuckers touched it.

    Anyways, good on you for writing the truth about that recruiter. Fuck him.

    @Alt-Tab thanks.

    Let me poll ideas for my Glassdoor review.

    One with the highest vote wins.

    So you won’t get into this sect cause you didn’t align with their policy of write only polite stuff ?

    @Floydimus Don't let anger guide your review text - you'd just lose credibility.
  • 6
    @vane Basically yes.

    @Fast-Nop No bro. Neither angry or upset. I am not bad-mouthing but will just state facts of what happened and how things went.

    Others should get a fair perspective.

    Well at least you tried.
    Good luck on the next one, doing big tech interviews can only be a good thing for you whether or not you get them

    @Floydimus They're probably very on guard, they don't want to hire another Frances Haugen.

    So anyone candidate who shows even the faintest hint of "independent thought" will be suspect and won't pass the interview.

    @TrevorTheRat true. A learning experience.

    @Bittersweet hah! Yes. They seem to be very cautious because they have a lot to lose now.

    What excites me the curve of normalisation. Map their trajectory. When the curve is soo steep upwards that it can only go vertically 90° that's when be prepared for the system to tip.

    @rutee07 they have huge systems setup to track everything. While giving them the feedback, I could clearly see that the URL had tracking ID and I could have removed it. But I didn't bother much.

    Just tell them" I know Mark is not a human , I know the secrets . Either take me as CEO or face me as enemy ... " And they will hire you .
    .

    Just kidding.

    @johnmelodyme lmao that's a good idea.

    Funny how Lizardverg is trying to convert our world into one of his own with all virtual metaworse and shit.

    @Floydimus

    Musk, for all his flaws, still has some admirable qualities. He can act like a cringy 12 year old Twitter troll, but he does genuinely seem to want to do "good things".

    But when it comes to figures like Zuck & Bezos... I often imagine them as the sad antagonist in some educational children's book.

    "Despite all their riches, despite all their data — they couldn't buy a soul, or research how to become likeable"

    I mean, Musk has fans.

    There's people who buy Tesla stock not as an investment or because they want to see more electric cars — They buy it because they're "Elon bros", and want to be involved in anything tangentially related to him.

    Which is super weird and sad.

    But it still seems like a massive oversight on the side of other companies to fail so hard in that popularity contest. Where are the Zuckboys? Where are the Bezosbuddies? There's no kid in the world with Amazon stock "Because Jeff for Moon President".

    @bittersweet damnnnn!!! What a perspective.

    Loved this comment. I wish I could favourite it. Screenshot time again :)

    I need to evolve my thought process and I look up to you always for the inspiration man.

    This was great.

    @Floydimus

    And I think that's a massive weakness for them in the long term.

    Any tyrant will tell you that you'll get nowhere without the vote of the population. Even outside of democratic systems, even the Lord Zuck of the Metaverse and Emperor Executive Bezos of the Cislunar Mining Colonies will still need a platform of support to flourish.

    @bittersweet people are the platform?

    They are powerless without people?

    @tarstrong just a plain standard email saying I can fuck off.

    Though they were surprisingly very polite in doing so.
  • 0
    @tarstrong I know. I don't expect Facebook to give me a specific feedback and I didn't bother to ask.

    Two reasons for that:
    1. It's Facebook so can't expect much
    2. Given the massive scale at which they operate, I don't it's practical for them to give feedback.

    And also, a wide majority of companies don't give feedback at all. So I don't have any expectations from anyone really.

    @Floydimus Also, giving individual feedback is always a legal risk. If you identify as a bucket of strawberry jam, but they instead use the pronoun for a small, tracked vehicle, then you can immediately sue them for a gazillion dollars.

    @Fast-Nop yes, that too.

    Maybe the tracking ID in URL was the final test:
    “If this person is smarter than average FB user, we should hire him/her” ;P

    @rov3rand0m think so. Should have tricked the mother fuckers.
