Some good news for job seekers. 8000 highly skilled Meta employees have just hit the market!

I am a Scala developer and the language has been mismanaged to the point that commercial users are walking away in droves....

My advice would be to go all in on Rust. It should stand you in good stead for contracts over the next few years....

[TheDude]

How the hell did you get a Rust contract with no experience and are there any vacancies?...

Final interview tomorrow for a role I have previously performed.

Initial appointment was for a 30 min teams call with the MD.

This was then cancelled and replaced with a two hour on site tech technical interview.

I have mentioned this before but I worked at a large European bank and their strategy in Canary Wharf at least was clearly based on cheap Indian developers. The dev floor I worked on was at least 70% Indian and half used to disappear at 4:30 in the summer to play cricket....

It's easiest for them to ghost you.

In my experience if you do chase for an outcome you rarely get told that you didn't get the gig. I suspect in some cases the agent gets ghosted by the hiring firm as well....
