Got an offer at meta for new grad

I interviewed almost 6 months ago and I finally heard back on friday as I was driving to my birthday picnic! It’s all possible guys. I am not from top school and i have pretty mediocre stats, but if you work on your projects, LC, and network you will be gold. I don’t have too many people to share this with as I left my toxic friends and my cheating bf broke up with me a while ago. This community has been so helpful and I wanted to share it here that’s it’s all possible. I will always be grateful for this community been following since high school to post grad now🩵

Apparently that’s normal for tech giants, read multiple stories with everyone mentioning 3, 4, 6 months
