But is it really? Or did a combination of COVID-tech-mania and low interest rates just boost stock prices well above what was actually reasonable?
There definitely has been a sentiment change on meta, but I think 'COVID-tech-mania' is a poor excuse for them failing to effectively diversify.

Normal programmers call the sort() method in their language of choice.
Call sort() to merge two sorted linked lists? (Which is what this sub-thread is discussing.)
That's for after you get the job though. During the interview you'll need to be a bit smarter and more practiced with algorithms.

> hiring being frozen I don't know when they made that decision but a recruiter contacted me from meta last week. I wonder how far do people go through the hiring pipeline before the "stop the engines" signal arrives. Hopefully not after the offer has been accepted.
It may continue for another few weeks after „Stop engines“ signal is received, because recruiters still have their jobs and team leads will tell them: „Let’s keep recruiting funnel warm, while I’m checking if that signal really applies to us“. Until every team with an ambitious team lead is told that they are not special and they really should stop, they may still continue at least talking to people. And some may eve…
Two rounds of layoffs seems to say something that one round doesn't. You would expect that all things being equal there is never a scenario where it is better to do two cuts instead of just one. So why? a) things were much worse than realised. Maybe but it would have to be a big shock coming because Meta's general performance has held up OK, certainly nothing that would warrant this. b) HR reasons? some sort of requi…
It is exactly Mark’s plan. He called 2023 “the year of efficiency”, meaning that he wants to flatten the whole organization and get closer to startup velocity (and cost). He communicated this theme during performance reviews, as suggested by the article.

Watching a grown man beg Elon musk for his job on a social media platform is not something I expected to ever see. It's been two weeks- if his paycheck didn't come through, he has his answer. Obviously a s-show led by Elon, but on LinkedIn especially I am seeing a lot of posts where these ex-FAANG employees, who usually score severance measured in months rather than days or weeks, and who were already raking in a $25…
But that is not what is happening here at all.

He must regret daily going for Metaverse. What a crazy move.

Twitter kinda looks like a billionaire decided to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a company, just so he could destroy the livelihoods of thousands of people less fortunate.
Or an attempt to illustrate what happens when $40 billion and a narcissistic personality disorder meets Chesterton's fence.
