Tell HN: Facebook IC4 Hiring Freeze

That’s a shame. Facebook IC4 is somewhere from 1-2 years of experience to a new grad who has some sort of resume that is considered to have something equivalent to 1-2 years of professional experience, for people who are curious. IC3 is most new grads, IC5 is a senior engineer.

If it’s still the same as when I was there, most of their hiring is planned on a 6-monthly cycle, so it’s possible that around July 1 (the start of H2) they would open things up. But it’s also possible that with ad revenues looking bad in the short term, they might freeze hiring or drastically lower hiring for a longer period.

In technology we're at negative unemployment. Lots of requisitions to hire, no bodies to fill them. Trying to get an IT sales rep or other type of profession west of Denver isn't going to happen unless it's taking a person from another company. Which means more salary usually.

With this said Facebook also has a stigma. If I had a choice between Oracle, Cisco, Google, Amazon, Microsoft.. I certainly wouldn't pick Facebook.
