I received verbal offer from meta ( SWE - infra track) #swe Total Tc= $375k ($200k base, 15% yearly performance bonus, $580k RSU / 4 years, no sign on.) Location: Menlo park Yoe: 9 years Domain: AI/ML Current TC = $380k this year due to stoxk appreciation, $310 from next year , SDE2 Looks like lowball offer. What numbers should I target? I don't have competing offer at this stage
HCOL? Looks lowball
Menlo Park is as HCOL as it gets
Are you in Bay Area for Amazon? If so, I would say it’s not worth to leave for Meta and to try and get L6 promo. AMZN L6 starts at 400 in the bay so you have much more upside than E5 where last I checked topped out at 450k. E6 promo takes a few years at min so that will essentially be your ceiling for a while. Also work at meta is a lot more intense, you are competing with much more driven folks and their diffs per year are much higher than what you seen at Amazon, even compared to TT rated. E5s are still expected to contribute code quite a bit compared to L6 where you can do only designs and even not go oncall for some teams. And review is 2x a year so you are expected to deliver fast, which is a lot more pressure if you are used to Amazon’s 1 year goals
No competing offers is gonna keep you here. Competing will get you to a max of 225/800/75
Super lowball. Forget it
I thought meta wont offer such low offers
How much time for team matching?
Target $220k base, $800k RSU
Sign on bonus?
$100k sign on
