> Facebook came to my university...<p>I stopped reading from that sentence and realised the source of skills and the so called 'tech talent' that Facebook is really looking for. It is the same old elite Oxbridge + London universities in the 'golden triangle' that get all the opportunities running to them and no where else. Even after the internship ends, you are networked with the employees and already have an instant offer to work there.<p>It is no wonder in 2019, Facebook would more likely go to those universities in person and give you a referral + internship than else where else and that is the true reality for direct applicants.<p>Thank you for sharing your internship story, however, students from non Ivy League and non Russell Group universities need not apply.
It's coming round to internship interviewing season again, so for those considering interning at Facebook, here's a post that will hopefully give you a better insight of what it is like to intern at Facebook! I thoroughly enjoyed my internship this summer and would strongly recommend interning here - in fact I'll be returning next summer for another internship!
