Meta is very straight forward, although it’s draining.

1. Recruiter call.
2a. Optional prep session with Meta designers that give you tips.
2b. A two part day. 45 minute app critique, and a 45 minute portfolio review.
3. Virtual onsite that’s ~4 hours that includes: Portfolio presentation, app critique, whiteboard exercise, and behavioral interview.

No real tips other than take them up on the prep session and practice white boarding exercises. It’s straight forward otherwise.

Hi , I recently went through all the loop , HR round and final HM catch up for a Senior level role at Meta only to be not offered a role (went to an internal candidate). Recruiter was very sympathetic and offered to introduce to any other open roles I am interested in. Should I take him up on it ? I see 2 open roles very similar to the ones I interviewed for. Recruiter had no negative feedback from the teams . Has this worked out for anyone ?

Job sharing in professional services is becoming more common. Would it make sense to offer job sharing at the partner level? Benefits a) employee retention (including women 30+ that often choose family over Partner track), b) more available Partner spots which increases retention, c) work life balance, d) 2 vs 1 partner tapping into their network to sell, e) 50% comp but ideally 6 months off. Why wouldn’t it work? Trying to hear different perspectives for and against partner job sharing?

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously).

He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ?
