Hi all, I currently have two offers I am trying to decide between. Matched at Meta with a new PE Team supporting FB App Recommendation ML Models that is split off from Recommendation Systems Team. According to manager, entire team is new and PEs have a greenfield opportunity. Recruiter also told me about annual refreshers starting at the end of year 1. TBH this would be my first FAANG role and I have worked pretty hard for the interviews since the past 5 months.

Hi everyone, I recently received a job offer to join Meta Reality Labs. I have not worked in the Bay Area before, so I have been spending time on Blind trying to understand what working at Meta is really like. There seems to be a common view that Meta is not a great place to work, even though the compensation is strong. I am trying to understand if this applies to Meta as a whole, or only to certain orgs or teams.

I’ve been deliberately restrained about using GenAI despite being in software for ~15 years. Until recently, I mostly used it for unit tests or small tooling I didn’t feel like writing myself. After spending the last couple of weeks seriously working with modern agentic tools, my view has changed completely. And yes, wife was back in India so gave me some downtime to chase this. The number of developers required to build software is going to drop - significantly.
