wdym infeasible?

nova field
#

like would figma name be enough to pass res screen

harsh dove
#

i mean you passed it already so i dont see why not? even if it may be harder for ng if you already got intern offer/interviewed in past id assume so yes

#

meta is p easy choice here imo

#

js 95% from intern

#

idk stats for others

#

anyways i think you just go meta and take ro and itll give u room to move elsewhere if u want a few years down the line

rustic onyx

rustic onyx
blissful wind

rustic onyx
blissful wind

#

figma is probably recognized just as well as meta tbh

#

i think its generally easier just to go from a huge company to a smaller one

nova field

#

Not taking meta would be a mistake tbh

pulsar onyx
#

Dm me if u want to yap abt figma

#

I also passed bar for interviews at places like js/radix for new grad with figma being the best name on my resume

arctic egret
#

bar is quite high for ng's

If quant is the goal you should go to meta

#

Much more ppl go from meta to quant than figma

Plus at meta higher likelihood you’ll be working on cpp/low latency work as compared to crud at figma

pulsar onyx
pulsar onyx
#

More opportunities at both tho just bc it’s a bigger company. I’d argue u r more likely to get a cpp/low latency team at figma

shut cypress
#

??

#

infra is the hardest org to get into at meta

#

its flat hc

rapid wharf
#

i’d go with meta

#

cc @nova field

#

dm if u want my figma experience it was rlly bad

nova field
rapid wharf
#

figma product RO rate was like 25% this year no joke

#

maybe less

nova field
#

Ughhh i hesrd it would be better this yr💔 taking less hc

rapid wharf
#

how many interns are they taking?

#

probably bs tho. figma tried lying at first saying RO was fine, they realized cat was out of the bag and they’re pivoting

#

theyre telling the infra kids it was just product

#

they’re telling the product kids it was just bad year

#

it’s just the vps are wack everyone was cracked

#

summer i think

rapid wharf
#

they had 25 swe interns fwiw

#

ya that’s the same

#

7 winter 18 summer for swe intern

#

i think another 7-8 summer were different roles

rapid wharf
#

2/2 intern to intern conversion too so NG is just cooked

#

ppl with high final reviews got rej

#

they just don’t want to invest in NG

blissful wind
#

Yeah agreed

#

Everyone wants to do high-level infra

#

Low demand for low-level infra

tulip bridge
#

fwiw kp fellows is not that high signal

#

coming as someone at figma who did kp

#

talent density at figma is really high, but could change as a lot of people are leaving post ipo

nova field
tulip bridge
#

figma first -> kp

#

i would prioritize it unless you are using it to find jobs

nova field
tulip bridge
#

yes ofc

nova field
#

its like the diff between choosing sf and nyc for me

proven slate
nova field
#

LOL

#

ro is fucked for figma

#

want smaller company

#

i have recruiter contact i can just start ng proc at any time. idk notion is more limited opp tbh

pulsar onyx
#

i mean notion def has good learning its just not nearly as high of comp ft as figma/meta

#

even tho meta's starting comp is lower growth is faster

verbal root
#

yeah its barely marginal

pulsar onyx
#

2 resumes with meta vs figma r getting decided on by content not name brand
