hmmm, 1) In today's world, YOU are responsible for your education and self-improvement, work on yourself as hard as your job, build market-relevant skills/expertise, there is no shortage of FREE resources available to do that 2) Get a mentor that is 1-2 levels above you, monthly chats, advice. 3) Volunteer for a project, raise your hand...

What's your role?

I work at fb and I feel the same. I’m in Ops.

OP, have you brought this up with your manager? If you do not feel challenged at your role, I recommend asking for more responsibilities.

Additionally, I assume at Facebook, there is also a lot of room to grow into other teams/departments where you feel more challenged.

Finally, there is always finding challenge somewhere else.

Internal transfers are eligible for ppl with a certain IC level (3+) in Ops. It can take more than 2 yrs for a person to get promoted.

I would first decide what you want to do - your passion. That can be the most difficult obstacle. It may not even involve working.

Once you’ve identified your passion, ask yourself “am I at the right workplace?”. If so, find out what role you want there given your desired path.

Next, literary start hanging around that department/group and meeting the people there, listen to their discussions, ask questions, ask to help out, ask to do the most mundane tasks - get your foot in the door essentially.

If you truly have defined your passion, you won’t have any difficulty doing whatever it takes to make it happen.

You’re lucky to work at Facebook. Take advantage of all the networking opportunities. Look at your job to a means to an end for now until you find your passion!

Good luck.

I will be doing someheavy recruiting for Product Managers. Having a hard time with the existing team to persuade them that the uniqorns they are looking for dont exist. They are fixated that unless someone does not know to work agile or have tech specific experience they dont want to see them. Some of the questions also they have for candidates are an imitation of big corp companies like google, facebook etc. I am a big advocate on giving chances and trying to get through to them.
