Also ML was one of the less impacted from what I heard in Meta.

Twitter is an Elon shitshow. Thats a special case as you point out.

I was chatting with a Meta recruiter during their hiring freeze (before layoffs) and they told me that MLEs were the only job category they were still actively hiring for.

Weird, I was also chatting with a recruiter from Meta specialized in ML and she told me they were freezing all hires. It may depend on the groups

It might also be different time periods. I talked to them a couple mos ago, at the beginning of all the tech hiring freezes

Yep, same here. An internal recruiter reached out to me by email and on the call said that everything was frozen except for backend and ML engineering. This was I think in August or September.

Afaik ML was impacted, but mostly responsibility folks getting booted in Meta.
