I was a US TikTok contractor. 40 hrs a week, with the workday start/end time adjusted (rarely) when meeting with international teams - my manager said they were optional for me but I didn't mind. Would your role involve international meetings?

I definitely didn't work 996. I think WLB does vary by team though.

Sure, I can try my best to answer. My contract ended almost one year ago, so things may have changed since then.

I've heard the work is interesting but the hours are TOUGH. if it's contract, you might be okay...I think certain teams have it worse than others

I've heard WLB can be nonexistent but if you don't mind long nights and extra hours it can be a good experience.

If you're at FB now, I don't know if it's worth it to move to TT. A lot of instability and inconsistencies in WLB from a close friend that I have that work there.

Do they work in the US?

Congratulations but, sorry, have heard some pretty bad things about WLB there. Who knows, maybe some departments are better than others.
