Why are you leaving? Is there any layoff possibility in India? Also should I take contract (contingent worker) role in current situation at meta?

I’d hit a roof in my learning and career progression. The looming uncertainty has been also been another letdown.

For your specific role, if you’re ok - feel free to dm and we can chat more 1-1 since it’s kinda team dependent. That said there’re quite a few cons of CW role - hope they’re known to you.

How’s the overall growth now? Given that you’ve already penetrated enough in india. Are you guys bullish about anything anymore?

And what’s with privacy campaign of WhatsApp? I don’t think users care that much. Given how poor the adoption of Signal is.

The privacy campaign is targeted more towards key opinion formers like the govt, tech journalists. There is pressure on WhatsApp to break end to end encryption by the govt and this campaign is trying to evade that I think..

+1 to my Google friend. IN consumers at large don’t give a damm. Just to add its also to align with the global narrative and the on going master campaign. Check this out : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vT0QRd937KM

Aah! Has been an ask from India for quite a while but not happening in the short to medium term for sure plus given the on going chaos it’s next to impossible.
