Why would any candidate consider Meta for their career when the CEO flounders money and then lays off recklessly.
The comp is really good.
Because they offer an attractive job/package relative to other opportunities... same as any other job people take.
Because in the current job market many job seekers will accept 1st offer after spending months looking for a job without any offers.
Facilitates legal immigration. At least that was my case (not at Meta thankfully).
Making it 2-5 years there sounds like reasonable pile of money. And I don't think getting fired in one of these big layoff rounds is too big black mark.
90% of employees aren't getting laid off and continue to earn top of market pay. Even if you think layoffs are distributed randomly (they aren't), that has positive EV.
