FB E6 compensation?

Tech with 15 yrs exp, and interview with FB Data center infra role (hw/SW interaction). Was told E5 is a good.target level but seems more like I shd be offered an E6. What shd I expect in terms of salary, bonus, sign on and RSUs at E6?

E6 should be 500K TC

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

Tc includes sign on? Or no?

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

I guess a more accurate question is, what does tc include and exclude

If you were an eng, you could get up to 220 base and 1M stock. https://www.teamblind.com/article/google-engineer---total-compensation-in-us---ultimate-post-jYcrij5X

And how about E5? Btw im pretty close to Principal at intel (Grade 9) and I'm an architect in the data center group. Have direct experience in what the role is asking for.

E5 maxes out at 180/600

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

Trying to find what is the right level at FB and corresponding TC with components researched ahead of time

Google lnsw4i5f May 14, 2018

TC range is 400 - 550

What is the blind convention for calculating tc? (base for 4 years+stock+sign on)/4 ? Or is Target bonus/stock for that level ( for 3 years ) is added to the above total and then the sum is divided by 4? To calculate per year TC..

Google lnsw4i5f May 14, 2018

TC = base + annual cash bonus + annual stock vest sign on can be assigned to first year or first two years (for amazon) depending on the company. after first year you get refreshers so it is appropriate to assign sign on to first year.

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

So to summarize all the replies: E5 is 180k/600 base/tc E6 is 220k/1M base/tc TC includes base+bonus+stock vest on an annual basis. Now, the next question is, how does FB determine E5 vs E6? ( assume candidate qualifies for E6 in terms of years of experience but not E7). What are the requirements and norms?

Would you be a SWE if you’re working on data centers?

It will still be an Eng role.

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

Yes. Engg.

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

Some one pls answer this. If E6 is "difficult" does it imply FB only hires up to E5 and very rarely they hire E6? Surely they must hire at higher levels. My q is what is the criteria where E6 is almost a no brainer?

Airbnb slackbot May 14, 2018

I understand E6 has an extra architectural interview and slightly different criteria for the behavioral interview (looking for leadership and management abilities).

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

I am an architect at intel btw. Plus have led teams before. Qualify on both counts

Intel SPYTo350! OP May 14, 2018

For that I first have to make it to L6 at Google "organically". I'm trying to avoid that and leverage my existing experience. Kind of sick waiting for promo to Principal at Intel. The wait list is long and I'm way overdue.
