Tempting high TC Meta offers

Take this seriously, Meta is extremely hard to survive in. Don't be fooled by the high TC. I've seen all new hires fired in my team and sister teams in the last year. Tenured folks are very hard to dislodge and they will say it's easy here and encourage you to join. They need you to join so they survive. It's a stack ranked system where you will be made to work like crazy and then let go when PSC comes. Frankly I can't comment on other companies but Meta is an absolute all caps 'NO' right now.

Just got the OpenAI rejection email. Would've been $700k+ TC. I fumbled it so badly. I'm losing my mind in front of my PC right now. Now my backup is Stripe. Don't get me wrong, I know they pay good, but holy fuck I was this close to 3x my current TC and I blew it. I missed my chance at generational wealth holy fuck. Fuuuck. Again, I'm trying not to be ungrateful about having a Stripe interview lined up but honestly I'm just fucking depressed. This was supposed to be my big break.

Meta AI-Enabled coding experience | Interview Experiences - Blind

|
By Tim Cooked
| The Blind Ambition with Jack Kelly
Last week I had an AI enabled coding round. So here is the gist for who is doing next: The problem was a game that draw cards from a deck. It draw N cards an print in a matrix form. You need to pick 3 cards where the sum of those cards are 15. So you had a failing test to fix, similar to the demo at meta website. The issue is in a validation for invalid moves. Then implement a strategy to solve the game, aka picking 3 cards summing 15 until no more cards available.
