@Austen, Great insights and your other Meta - Behavioral Part 1&2 was very helpful. Thank You. Wish you good luck for your Book. I have been following your drafts. I do have a question though on your loop structure. Regarding talking about the favorite project, let say that was a question on behavioral round and I bring up a high impact, large scope work and then during the project retrospective I provide the same project as it has the level details and depth for the structured project retrospective, will my candidacy for a hire decision impacted when I use those similar stories for both the rounds in the loop?

The answer is nuanced so I decided to write a post about it: https://thebehavioral.substack.com/p/should-you-reuse-stories-in-behavioral (scheduled to publish tomorrow morning)

LinkedIn, talk to the recruiter, talk to anyone you know at Meta :)

Got it, tk u. Regarding Linkedin, I think search the hiring manager to know the team & manager, so are there any other ways by Linkedin?
