I got a job referral at Meta. The person working at Meta asked me only for my email. Do they really spend more time on internal referrals for candidates?

It guarantees a recruiter will look at your application. You will also hear back if you’re unsuccessful. But it only goes so far, I did not get in even with a strong referral. But it will definitely help! Good luck :)

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations.

I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

My recruiter meets every Thursday to get feedback from the interviewer, so I’m not expecting to hear back until next Friday.

I get an email today, from a Googler, an invite to apply for a position. I did not accept or decline yet and I don’t have any details. I did look up the person who sent me the invite, the person is a regional lead.
