At Facebook, engineers are the heart and soul of the business. No matter the project or where they’re located, engineers have the opportunity to make a global impact through their work. Across all our offices, we empower an environment of collaboration, where we move boldly and quickly. It’s the kind of place where the same skills required for being a great software builder of financial systems cross over and help us tackle big tech challenges.
Hear from Facebook team members across the globe on their unique journey making the transition to Facebook from finance:
“I didn’t have to give anything up in my career when I switched to Facebook, and what I’ve gained instead is immeasurable. I’m solving complex technical challenges, work with thousands of incredible coders, and do so in an environment that’s geared toward engineers.” —Don S., Engineering Manager

“Facebook provides a lot of freedom and mobility to its team members. At my previous company, I was used to dress codes, strict hours, and sitting at one desk all day. Here, you’re given the flexibility and autonomy to be your authentic self and work at your pace, from picking the team you want to work on to creating your own schedule and working in an environment that best suits your work style.” —Yichen Y., Software Engineer

“When you’re in finance, you become a domain expert—whether it’s on financial issues, equity trading, option pricing, or something else. People often worry that if they jump ship and change industries, their years of experience will all go to waste. But if you’re a good finance professional, you know you need to balance your portfolio. The more you broaden your portfolio of skills, the more valuable you become.
If you’re in finance and you’re good at it, it’s because you’re someone who likes to dive deep into topics and understand issues on a granular level. This is a rare skill, and it’s critical when you’re working at a company like Facebook where you’re tasked with solving complex problems that have never been solved before. The ability to deconstruct these issues and find solutions that start from the ground up is invaluable.” —Parth V., Engineering Manager
