Want a job at Facebook UK? Now might be your best chance
Social network overlords want YOU
Ever fancied yourself as a future Employee of the Month at Facebook? Then here's your chance - the social networking giant has announced plans for a huge expansion of its UK offices.
Zuckerberg's crew is set to add 500 new roles to its UK operations, expanding the company's presence in the UK by 50 per cent as it opens brand new headquarters in London's Fitzrovia area.
"The UK remains one of the best places to be a tech company," said Nicola Mendelsohn, vice-president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Facebook.
"Many of those new roles will be high-skilled engineering jobs as the UK is home to our largest engineering base outside of the US."
Sales, marketeers, managers, oh my!
It's not just about engineering roles though. Project managers, marketing teams and sales staff will all also be scouted by Facebook.
Facebook follows in the footsteps of Google, which has also given a vote of confidence in post-Brexit Britain with a £1bn investment in a new London HQ and the introduction of 3,000 jobs by 2020.
"Facebook's decision to expand in London is further evidence that London's strength as a tech hub keeps on growing," said London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
