Given the Facebook (Meta) layoffs, how likely is it to have an offer rescinded? Starting in mid June which now seems far away but have an offer from another FAANG (higher TC too). Was going to decline but now I’m worried.

Just want to chime in as I feel there is a lot of misinformation out there. There are no layoffs happening, as mentioned above this was simply a story that was picked up.

Also the hiring freeze is not a freeze, rather a slow down mostly for technical resources. My team is hiring heavily as before.

All the best with whatever you choose!

I got a request from Meta recruiter on Linkedin... Not sure if this is imapcting that

It's not layoff. The person who started it was not even meta employee. She was a contractor hired by staffing agency which works for meta.

I heard it was just one person who got laid off and started a viral trend amongst recruiters. Not sure if that's completely true but dig around a bit more.

I can confirm that we’re not having layoffs. There’s a hiring freeze in place for some SWE and DS roles (because we already filled headcount for the year) but the open positions you see on the website are not impacted.

I agree, probably blown out of proportion but I’ve seen 4 different things on LinkedIn today about offers getting rescinded to Meta. All of which had thousands of likes - I’d agree with others though, if it is happening it’s much smaller proportions

Depends on your vertical. I'm in logistics and we're still hiring.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?

Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
