I applied to Facebook 6 months ago and got rejected after the final on-site interview. Will their recruiters ignore me if I ask my friend for a referral again now? Too soon?

You didn’t get “rejected.” They just picked someone else. While that hurts your ego and your feelings, don’t let that impact your confidence. Most folks don’t make it to the loops, much less to the final interview!

Did you get good feedback from the recruiter on what they liked better in the other candidate? That can help you frame yourself differently when you go in.

Apply again. I had the same story with UA 3 years ago (applied, interviewed, wasn’t picked). I kept an eye on their site and applied again; been there 2.5 years now and have been promoted and successful.

Indeed, Facebook can be a challenging place to get hired. I have a friend there, and yes, lots of people try to get hired at FB.

I would follow the coaching of @SVPECD1. This is sound advice.
