Care to explain?

OP - I have not heard that but it would be an interesting acquisition given that Facebook has been aggressively investing and pushing its rival product - portal

Facebook's WhatsApp video calls are not bad at all on decent internet connections.

Where is this information coming from?

Nice try SEC

Would this acquisition make any sense? FB has a poor track record on data privacy and security - important to corporate accounts. It's not a sticky product - pretty simple to switch to Skype. And as was pointed out above, FB has already invested in developing a competitive product.

Also, don’t be so sure we’re not going to use it soon

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
