Should I take the Google offer and net a 40% pay bump and probably wait for promo in 2 years or stay at FB and join a high growth team where I already have great rapport with leadership and *may* grow my career much faster. If I negotiate a TC bump to x% with FB for staying what would x need to be? Current TOC: 153 GOOG offer TOC: 220 L4, was told it's top of band Level: 4 ( came into FB at level 3 and got promo @ 2nd cycle, 1st cycle into l4) YOE: 4 Function: UX
What are you looking for in terms of career growth?
Google Shopping, merchant side. Could be really slow or great b/c I'm the first UX person so I could build out the function there.
The 40% bump and exponential growth from there will likely exceed "possible" higher growth later. G and FB are too quickly moving for you to expect that staying for a long time in the same position are the way to grow. Bird in the hand sounds better here. If you can succeed at FB, you can do it at G too.
Are you Indian?
Google. you can boomerang back with promo and another pay bump in two years.
What team at Google?
