Meta is rescinding intern offers. How can I succeed now that I can't convert to full-time?

First, I wanted to call out that it’s stupid for Meta to block all interns from getting a return offer. Like, it makes zero sense given how profitable the company is. The best interns operated at the E4 level and are extremely sought after – I don’t understand why Meta would be turning these engineers away 😨

Some thoughts:

• You have the Meta brand name on your resume – you’re going to be fine!
• Continue working hard in the internship, and put an extra emphasis on building relationships. Leverage your connections for referrals, both now and in the future.
• Look at similar or competitive companies, or where your work is especially applicable (e.g. Snap, Tiktok, Twilio, etc). You’ll have an edge in applying to these companies.
• Check if you can do a longer internship, or another 3 month internship.
• Build your own software and try to generate revenue while also building something interesting.

Update: Interns who got GE+ are receiving offers. No news for other interns as of mid-August though.

We are hiring!
