If meta is hiring for VR, they are probably taking advantage of the recent Microsoft layoff anyways to pick up talent.

Do you mean the Microsoft VR layoffs literally announced only 1 or 2 days ago? That's giving BigCo a lot of credit in the agility department, skirting over the edge into conspiracy theory territory.

If they were still hiring for VR, why would the recruiters wait? It’s not like they are very busy.

This role's been open for a while, probably just recruiting getting re-organized after being cut to the bone.
