Got referred to Facebook for a role by a person within the team yet got rejection from the recruiter. Should I check with my contact if the hiring manager even got a chance to look at my resume?

Wondering if the recruiter just made the decision without forwarding along the resume.

Had same thing happen for me when I got referred to Facebook last year. Id be surprised if the hiring manager saw it, likely that the recruiter made the decision there

We’re on a hiring freeze in my part of the firm. Applications might just be put on hold at this point. Recruiters generally do the initial screening of candidates though, even from referrals.

Yes wouldn’t hurt

Same thing happened with me few months ago. Facebook recruiters take weird decisions even before the hiring manager sees the you resume. The recruiter refused to count my pre MBA experience in the total yoe I have and said I didn’t meet the threshold 🤷🏾‍♂️

You don’t want to work there.

Why? They are going all remote. No need to show up at work anymore 🥳

Most likely the HM has not viewed your resume - that is what the recruiter is for. Even with a referral

So what are my chances to navigate this. The recruiter appears to be a contractor who probably was just looking for keywords in my resume I feel. Based on my conversation with the team members it appeared my background and experiences aligned with the role

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
