Who else completely BSs there way through any and all college essays they've ever written? Hell, it worked for undergrad; here's to hoping it works for my business school.

Essays are the most important part of your application. Suggest you actually try to be thoughtful when you write them.

Or just hire someone to "proof and edit"

Hi All —

Looking to plan a trip to Puerto Rico this summer with cousins!

If anyone has ever been, can you recommend any safe hotels/neighborhoods to stay in?

Also, any activities/sightseeing/bars/clubs/specific beaches that is a must?

So far have written down to go ATV riding en El Yunque National Rainforest & to visit Casa Bacardi!

Also, for those who opted for an Airbnb instead of a hotel, what was your experience like in PR?

Thanks!

I recently interviewed at Facebook (Meta) for enterprise engineer E4. Feedback from recruiter was very positive. Everyone on panel recommended me. Received an offer for 223 TC. My current salary is significantly higher (amzn L5/sde2). I am walking out but curious:
1. Is that a standard meta offer? I thought meta pays better than amzn and googl.
2. I have been asked by my recruiter to provide my current salary as data point to go back and negotiate. Isn't that illegal? Facebook (Meta)
