:( sorry to hear - good luck 💐

Meta? It’s not as bleak as you think. And since you’re Meta you can be vocal about the layoff, you don’t have to hide it. Depending on location you want to start applying. Just grind out the applications. Lots of places are hybrid now but you’ll be ok. Where are you? (Also not a headhunter so unfortunately can’t place you that way, just giving advice)

You’re right. But you’re coming from Meta. You have the pedigree. And it’s been a week. The job search is a soul sucking grind but you gotta keep your head up. And flex. Your. Network. That gets you above the fray of everyone looking.

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

Can anyone provide insight into Meta Lead Counsel/IC5 total comp?

Thanks in advance!

Recommendations for negotiating an offer. Things to negotiate for outside of base, bonus, and equity?

It seems like we’ve had many people join from firms today. In the in-house bowl we had a lot of people speaking about F50 who don’t actually work there and the info/advice was often not accurate. If you’re not at an F50 feel free to ask questions but please refrain from commenting on things you don’t have first hand knowledge of so we can avoid the misinformation issues and make this bowl helpful for all
