Largest photo site in the world looking for HNers (Facebook job post)

Dude, this is one of the coolest job postings I've seen on HN for a while.

Not so much what the job involves (which is pretty cool in itself) but that you're reaching out to the HN community to hopefully bring some people like yourself onto your project. You were obviously passionate about Divvyshot, glad to see it's followed through with FB.

Just some advice for anyone going on to interview with Facebook.

1. Know _why_ you want to work there. Really think about that one.

2. Crack open an algorithms and data structures book. They ask some seriously off the wall questions.

3. Be prepared to fail gracefully.

4. Have an ivy league degree. Not saying that's a requirement, but it certainly helps.

5. Do some of the puzzles for Facebook engineering. It makes the interview process go quicker, and you'll be a little more prepared for the technical interview.

That said, I failed my interview earlier this year. Your mileage may vary, but good luck!
