Adding this because I find this type of information helpful. Went through the interview process with Meta. They moved quick. Recruiter, hiring manager, and full loop all in a two week period. (I know this was fast because I’ve interviewed with Meta before and it was more like a month between hiring manager and full loop). I was told I would hear in 2 weeks or so on a decision. During this time I got another offer. I let meta know the update. Was told I was top pick but had to wait for…

Some people to get back in PTO etc till an official offer could be made. They bucked up against my other offer deadline so I emailed to graciously say they were out of time but thank you. The recruiter called and said just hold a moment and I will get an answer. She called an hour or so later to say the decision was made to no longer fill the role. That was today, so seems like headcount is getting pulled back (this was a backfill role). It worked out, but man a lot of work to have the headcount pulled back. Kind of wish they would figure it out before interviewing 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for sharing your experience.

It sucks that this happened to you. That said, if it wouldn’t have been obvious to the outside world that they never ended up hiring for this position, I admire the decision to share with you that they aren’t filling it at all. They could have said “If that’s how it is, feel free to take the other job.” Which you would have done, but might have always been tormented by wondering “what might have happened if I hadn’t rushed them?” This way you’ll always have peace of mind knowing definitively that it wasn’t you but them.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
