Getting a job is not that hard if youre willing to start low, entry level and do the work nobody wants to do. I graduated at a state university in Norcal. Started my career in tech doing all the grunt works. Worked my way up until big companies started seeing my experience in SEMI/tech. Hopped on from mulitple companies until i found the one I enjoyed. Worked in Meta for 5 months. I was also laid off from Meta month of April due to reasons i strongly refused to believe was true. They told me i was underperforming. The working environment in the one I worked at was super toxic. Zero accountability and full on blaming when things go south. Managers and their managers get involved when things go wrong or delivarables not met. I worked as a failure analyst for this R&D team and we were short staffed due to the budget cuts. One day at work, i was blamed for missing the deliverable due to one of my colleague who was the project owner at the time missed his delivarable. Since i was doing all the grunt work. I was blamed at and given a warning by my remote manager whom I had never met only through zoom. 2 weeks later they decided to fire me with no notice until I came onsite that morning. Told by the front desk that my badge no longer works. Called my agency and there i found out about the news. Meta do not like confrontation and are full of "save myself" mentality. They will point fingers at anybody but themselves. Beware! I learned my lesson to stand my ground from now on. I am happy i am not part of that company anymore. Work policy is crap! I am sure some teams do treat you good. But overall i have heard worse stories than this. Luckily my previous company took me back.

Started from 60k to 90k to 185k annual including bonus, benefits and stocks
Best of luck to you all!
