Updates and Interviews from my end

Hey WR,


Long time no see. A lot has been going on, but I still have a job(Thankfully), still barely making commission lol, but I've got two interviews scheduled this week, one of which I'm hoping for advice on.


One is a BD associate role at Meta that I know little to nothing about. I'm hoping some vets here who have worked for the lizard king could shed some light on some best tips or practices when dealing with large enterprises like Meta.


I have little to no experience interviewing at large enterprises, so if you could break down some things to remember for a first-round interview and really just how to put myself out there for this particular company, I'd very much appreciate it.


Gracias

Haven't worked for Meta, but big companies run interviews like a sales process. Your first interview is a qualification call. What happens after that will depend on what happens in that first call. Definitely take a look online about what to expect for that specific company, but if you get through the full process, it will be thorough and may take some time.

if you get on a call with Meta, ask about how connected they are to the Illuminati, and if Mark is still a fan ofAdrenochrome. they LOVE talking about that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸฆŽ

Seriously - have you googled interviewing at Meta and have you checked Glassdoor? Glassdoor is usually a good reference for these things.

I have, but was hoping I'd find someone from WR who's worked/currently working for meta and pick their brains.

The difference with interviewing at big companies is there is more of an expectation on knowing their product/company. The good thing is, lots of stuff available on their interviewing process with questions they ask and also about there products

Please, please be careful about going there - they are in for a world of hurt revenue wise and are going to be doing layoffs and PIPs the next two years.

I appreciate your input. Do you know if that's mainly the sales org or the whole company in general? I know a lot of companies aren't doing great, but I thought they might be kinda insulated from it all in some ways.

That reminds me to ask them the question "Why are you currently hiring for this role?" and "Have you recently laid off certain positions in the sales organization?"

Both - Meta has suffered from ad revenue, business "nice-to-have" churn, and subscription loss, and the market is still about to bleed from overhiring. Plus now that they are focusing on the 'verse as a company, it's gonna be a hurricane until it's up and running.

What do you mean by "verse as a company?" as in the meta verse?

Do you mean MaaS(which I think far too early to bank on)?

Yeah, in sure apples ad tracking rules on ios aren't helping either. That makes sense though, seems like they're struggling with p/m fit with the "nice to haves".

Gives me something to think about, I'll update how it goes tomorrow. Appreciate it!

I would also take advantage of any other company resources you can right now. Networking with colleagues you may have not known well, etc. They may be your ticket to your next job in a week or so.
