Meta Is it true most Meta software engineers have to work on weekend and nights? How have your spouse handled this schedule?

Hi All! For those that have had HSGs/saline sonos done, did it mess up the timing of that cycle?

Thanks in advance for any insights you may have!

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

Has anyone ever left a role during maternity leave? What is your experience and/or drawbacks of doing this?

model 3 vs the model s? I drove both and actually like the handling of the 3 better. I live in a city so the 3 would be much easier to park and move around. Cargo space seems fine. And it’s so much cheaper. What am I missing? If I wasn’t that concerned about the $ would I be silly to go for the 3?

I can't get this insane gun violence out of my mind & wait in dread for the next news alert.. Like many others, I'm afraid to go to the store, park, or drop my kids off at school. Always thinking - will this be the last time? It's unbearable to have any semblance of a normal life.

In many instances, social media posts are uncovered afterwards. With advances in TECH, esp. AI/ML, can't something be done to monitor online threats and alert authorities before it happens? Is that a crazy idea?!

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Hi all- I’m a first year staff who works in Forensic accounting & compliance. I am almost at 1 year in PA, & have come to terms that this career is not for me. I am a creative at heart & interested in working in the music business/ tech industry.
