With meta on your resume you can easily find employment or freelance. Tech people have widely applicable and desired skills. Hell they could even move to a non 3rd world country and be better off.

As someone in the tech industry i can say that now is a pretty terrible time to lose your job.

The market was booming during covid but is very dry right now. Many companies have had lots of layoff and the market is saturated with candidates

Yes but at Facebook they make more money, and money speaks louder than morals 🤡 I'm not sorry for the people working at Facebook. They are part of the problem. Facebook didn't just suddenly become evil yesterday.

I recently quit facebook due to rampant russian propaganda, unmoderated communities full of far left or far right (same thing really) bots and constant, rampant scams and ai posts. It's not that platform has it, any platform with 5 digit userbase has them. It is that FB has used it consistently across all their platforms to drive """""engagement"""".
