Anyone have experience working CWX side of Facebook (Meta) ? These are the full time contract roles that potentially turn into permanent roles directly with Facebook (Meta). Had a recruiter reach out and offering me comparable TC and such, just curious if anyone has experience in these roles and success/failure of transitioning into permanent role. Thanks in advance!

Opinions on that are all over the map, of course. I think certifications are not a guarantee of anything. But they can show that you made an effort to learn things, and for that they can't hurt you any.
I took a Udemy class and learned skills I needed for a promotion. It was more helpful for answering interview questions than the actual cert but everything helps!
This is the key I think. These courses will help you answer questions on the interview even though yoh may not have work experience.
I say it's a very low percentage of resumes get picked out solely because you have these course certifications. It's really the total resume. But, the courses will help you feel a little more confident when answering questions on the interview
Coursera I believe gives you lab work or projects to submit. That alone would me more comfortable seeing that cert than something like linked in or plural sight since you could literally just watch videos
What do you think? Your question is leading - I assume you have an opinion
Truly not sure. I see it’s 50% off promo but not sure if it’s worth it.
By itself I don’t think so unless you apply that knowledge to do something in your job
I have a C++ cert through LinkedIn Learning. I watched all the videos and worked on the projects. But I didn't have to submit assignments really. I dont think it was even graded by an instructor. The course was okay, I already knew C++ and the cert was just to refresh my skills.
The classes I took in undegrad and grad schools were way more involved. I work at Ford through a talent agency. Coursera is offerred as a part of tuition reimbursement if you're direct with Ford. So my boss values certifications at Ford.
I don't know that it will necessarily give you an advantage or make you stand out but it is usually good information to know.
