I have an offer from Walmart but I'm also interviewing at Meta. I'm midway through the Meta process but there's still a long way to go and I don't want to rush through it unprepared. Both are for a Data Scientist position. Any suggestions on how to deal with a situation like this? Walmart Facebook (Meta)

Move on for now. If they enjoyed working with you they'll definitely follow up again.
If the recruiter specifically said the role requires XD so you wouldn’t qualify, that is their way of saying your skill set isn’t advanced enough for the role. Take your newly acquired skill and move on.
yes partly
May I also add, this recruiter said to stay in touch. Why say that if I shouldn’t? Why can’t people just say what they mean? Kind of seems like they jerk people around.
It's called being diplomatic and nice and letting people down gently. Or just a canned response. It's common in corporate. You must've witnessed this.
I agree, I wish these things were more forthright and illuminating.
Was the recruiter referencing your resume and does that have XD on it? May be a misunderstanding?
Actually I think she forgot that the contract role I was working in required XD—maybe mommy brain because she went on maternity leave right after. I had not sent her my resume at that point, but I had updated it to reflect XD.
Sounds like you really want a FT job. But this is the FL bowl..
Thanks for your comments. I think my imposter syndrome has gone up a few notches now!
