You have to reject your summer offer then be considered for fall so it’s not gaurnteed wouldn’t risk unless your summer is better then zon tbh

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

yeah I have meta

#

thats not the problem

#

I tried to defer in the reply to my offer

#

she didnt even respond 😭

#

not even "We will put you in the fall WL if you will reject the summer offer"

finite latch Apr 2, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

Oh I see who did you email

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

I was scared that I'd lose out on the existing offer and be out of all the pools, I've accepted the summer one for now
Strangely, the rec was very responsive to the accept reply

finite latch Apr 2, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

Recruiter or asp?

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

meta >>>>

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

Even stranger thing is, I was on the waitlist initially, and I'd emailed them to put me in the fall wl, which I got a positive response to

After this I got the summer offer

#

now idk if I am still on the fall wl or not

finite latch Apr 2, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

Lowkey lock in Meta for the RO

#

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

finite latch Can you lateral too SWE?

you can but you may need to reinterview

finite latch Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

I’m assuming it’s developing the high level of a product

#

And not actually implementing

kindred cloud Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

wtf

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

depends on the team

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

finite latch Apr 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

Oh airball

kindred cloud Apr 2, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

some teams its almost full stack, some teams its an SRE role, and the whole range in between

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

pastel flame the growth/pay is the same tho

#

pastel flame for reference i emailed asp-offers mon rejecting my summer

oof

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

im basically in same position as u

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

is it worth it to cc the manager who signed on the summer offer letter?

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

just have to wait

#

probably not

#

if u have nothing to lose then might asw

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

do you know how team match happens at zon?

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

iirc they match b4 offer

#

then if u want to push to fall the team u got the offer for has to be willing to do fall and budget needs to allow or something

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

hmm
yeah figured, my resume was heavily oriented to the team I got

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

its somewhat queue based in order though

#

#

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

I hope I'm not off the fall queue lol

#

pastel flame Apr 2, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

trail igloo Apr 2, 2025, 7:41 PM

#
