Can any Facebook employee give me a tour at HQ in Menlo Park

Perhaps you could share a little more background about yourself and your interests (EG front end Development, extensive experience in X, 'I love to ski', etc.)? While I am not a Facebook employee, my wife is (we left the bay area a year ago, however, so she would not be able to help you directly).

Facebook employees are incentivized to bring in top-tier talent, so knowing your background might help uncover a person in a similar org with similar interests that could get to know and trust you before putting their reputation on the line.

Just my thoughts/2 cents - but given how embattled Facebook has been over the last 6 to 12 months I would want to build some trust before putting my reputation on the line if I was working for the 'book.

Good luck!

Hi, thank your for taking your time to respond, I really appreciate it. I'm not sure if this helps but I have most of the stuff I've worked on my website https://alexmarginean.me (I haven't updated it in like 2 months so I should do it right now).

Just a friendly suggestion: If someone asks you about yourself (especially someone who is potentially able to help you with what you're looking for), take the time to tell them about yourself instead of just linking to your website.

You could then finish with something like "Feel free to see my website for more info!", but doing otherwise just makes it feel like you aren't putting in the effort.

Good luck though, and congratulations!

I also sent a mail but yeah I haven't explained much stuff there either. Good point though, I thought that might not have been the best thing to do but I've been contacting people for about a month, telling them about me but none would help..

So nice to see a Romanian around here. I suspect there are plenty more lurking around :)

Salut from Cluj!
