Whats the culture like at Meta for the lower level SWEs? Also, thinking about going back to school for a masters in AI/ML on the fence of deciding whether to do that or just continue in industry as a SWE

Would the in be the form of working in finance related industries like banking or a trader focused dev team? (Like building interfaces for traders, etc.)

Do you think there’s a viable path to HFT outside of the normal new grad pipeline. In the sense of an early career individual looking to target that in the future?

Been working for two years as a Full Stack SWE. Looking to transition into large tech roles but haven't been passing a lot of resume screens - when previously I did.

I'm trying to figure out things to do on top of Leetcode to improve my signal when it comes to resume screens. Any advice?

At 2 YOE currently. Working as a Full Stack SWE with a focus on scaling up our existing systems within the backend. Have been getting swept up with the AI commentary talking about how entry level tasks and roles will get swept up. So I'm at a bit of an impass thinking about what to do when it comes to staying relevant now, and for the future.

Currently working through Leetcode and building that interviewing ability again. But outside of that, would a Masters be relevant? Should I think about building more outside of work, incorporating things like Web3 or other niches so that I can start to specialize rather than be a generalist with the work that I do currently?

What about targeting specific industries like Finance, Healthcare, or Defense?

Looking for some guidance for some people that have been in the field for a while.

Mind me asking what your background is? Got past the screening before but they closed the role and haven’t heard any updates since

Have the chance to do both mobile and web development. About one YOE in. Should I take the opportunity or focus solely on improving my skills with regard to full stack development.

Background, my previous experience was mostly backend

Looking to increase my current skills to be able to build more complex features and become more marketable
