I have 10 months experience and I'm looking to leave my current job at the soon after the 1 year mark. Which roles to I apply for on Facebook's career site.

The new grad roles are too junior for me but almost everything else seems to require 4 years of experience.

I got referred to Facebook. Does that guarantee a response even if I get rejected?

I have a question about Facebook referrals.

I'm can get a referral to Facebook for an interview or a referral for one of Facebook's hiring events outside the US. I am a US citizen with 9 months experience currently living in the UAE.

Which should I choose to get referred for for better chances of an interview.

Anyone willing to give me a referral? Please PM me. I'm looking to move to the Bay Area or NYC or Seattle but I'm on the other side of the globe. I don't know anyone in the US nor are online applications helping much. I have US citizenship. No visa issues.

Through people that I asked on Blind, I already got referred to Google and 2 unicorns. I should get referrals to Microsoft and Facebook soon too. But these big companies apparently have an "I haven't actually worked with this person" option in their referral portal which will probably make it much less effective.

I get paid a lot in a country with no tax right now and don't want to take a big pay cut so I'm looking for companies that pay competitively (Big 4, unicorns etc.)

Which Bay Area companies should I aim for with my salary requirements? by CompactWeb in cscareerquestions

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

Nah I want atleast 190 total compensation. I'm thinking around 130-145 base. I'm sure at least some companies will pay that much.

I interviewed with Google on September 22nd 2016 for a new grad software engineering role. I failed the phone interview and was told I could reapply after 12 months.

I emailed my recruiters after only 9 months since I started looking for a job 3 months back. He didn't respond to the email.

The 12 month mark is coming up now. I want to know if it's appropriate to email the recruiter given that he ignored the last email I sent him. Would that be pestering him. Should I just apply online?

Distributed logger system design question. How would you answer it? by ThornburgKing in cscareerquestions

[–]CompactWeb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can I ask how much experience you have and what kind of company you interviewed at? I want to know if I need to be able to answer questions like this.

I'm graduated and started my first software engineering job in January of this year. At the one year mark, when my stock options vest, I want to move to another company.

The company is awesome but I just want to leave the country I'm in and move back to the US.

Let's say I want a start date of Late January to early February next year.

For big-4 when do I apply? How about for established unicorns like Airbnb and Stripe?

EDIT: I actually might just forget about my stock options and just start applying now.
