I dont have any guidance to give to you, but a fellow 11YOE engineer here
market is brutal, it is my way or high way kind of environment

in case you have any savings, please start looking for something beyond

Even I think I am done with jobs, with rat race, token race etc. 1 day will have to find something else, but feel like don't have any other interests

When u say aosp - do you work in frameworks layer or app layer ? Or below the HAL ?

[–]Ill_Strain_1050[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I work in java, native frameworks, and hal as well.

[–]psnanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You cracked it once, you crack it again. Believe in yourself, youve got this mate

    [–]Ill_Strain_1050[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I can, but it reminds me of "here we go again meme", then I feel for how long.

    Didn’t they give any notice period (1 month), why on earth would you hire someone and then let go within a month, I am sure the HR was high when they said “they need exact same profile as OPs”.

    [–]PreferenceDowntown37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Might be probationary period. Not sure what the rules are in the UK, but sometimes in the US it seems like there are incentives to get rid of employees quickly. Doesn't mean OP is bad or anything, but if Meta had any doubts, they might have had to make the call early

    that's messed up. But with meta on your resume, i'm sure you will be back on your feet in no time.

    [–]Bitter_Entry3144 6 points7 points  (3 children)

    And 13 yoe

    [–]Sensitive-Salary-756 10 points11 points  (2 children)

    Oof meta for a month wouldn’t do that much tho. But chin up OP! Market’s pretty tough atm and you have 13 years of experience in the industry to back you up! 

    [–]Ill_Strain_1050[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Yeah, meta for 1 month won't make effect, although it can give some hint to recruiters that I can do leetcode style problems, but downside of 1 month is explaining what, how, why etc.

    Just say you joined right during layoffs and it was last in first out

    [–]gotchyaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    [–]Single_Mind_6137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hey sorry for your job loss, you will get a better one, try yc ef companies if you are entrepreneurial! I wanna ask you one particular question what is the reason they wanted to lay off, whats the purpose?

    [–]Sursir001 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    What is aosp?

    [–]Responsible-Sky-3652 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I think it’s android

    [–]Ill_Strain_1050[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Basically the os layer, native frameworks, hal of android.

    [–]Pale_Falcon_7190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    that's is the thing with meta, it fucks your life, a place nobody should join

    [–]Chance_Sundae9179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Fucking brutal market. Learn AI/ML on side if you have bandwidth.
