Hi, OP here! Thank you all so much for the positive commments. To give some background: I'm a 17 year old student in the UK doing my A-Levels, still deciding what uni to go to and looking for degree apprenticeship options!

I did a degree apprenticeship at a FAANG company and was lucky to transition into a full time role there. It heavily depends upon the company, however my advice is that an apprenticeship at a well respected company goes much further than uni (bar Oxbridge) in terms of immediate job prospects.
I'd be very happy to talk more about this w/ you - email in my desc.
sorry, endofreach, i'll continue to call it Meta or Facebook interchangeably. One is company's legal name, and the other is its major product.
As for the evilness, i will not argue. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
For the OP in question, Facebook will provide the best career launch pad, so i will continue to suggest that. I have been to Google and Facebook, so can compare the two.
They do, yes. There are some rules around the attribution, like if recruiters have reached in some capacity in the past xx months without an outcome, you may still not get an award, I believe.
