#3> In an internal memo, CFO said a "reprioritization" is in part due to an "industry-wide downturn."
Is this spin or are things really cooling off?

Are they from actual meta or from recruiters who may not have the memo / are still trying?

#6They weren't trying very hard to hire before that. I'd get a lackluster "heyyyy! do you want to reinterview" every 6 months or so. I'd explain my situation (senior enough that if you send a junior person to interview me with a leetcode question, the hiring team made a mistake) and they wouldn't even reply.

#7From my armchair's perspective, Meta has started to look to me a lot like the IBM of social media so I don't find this very surprising if true.

Sounds like you were ghosted for being full of yourself. Judging from your 2013 account creation, you would have been leveled at either senior or staff, during which you would still be expected to complete coding interviews. Meta, like Google and hedge funds, only stops asking candidates to write code after they become very established leaders in their field, such as Carmack.

I never had to write code for any of the hedge funds I worked for and never saw leetcode style hiring at all at any point in my finance career.
