I have verbal offers from LinkedIn and actual offer from FB...this is for data analytics position...both at same level. Which one should I pick? My preference is good WLB and quality of work as against to TC. Yoe: 5 TC: 160K
LinkedIn undoubtedly has better WLB. Also MSFT stock is killing it relative to other tech stocks. I think FB pay could be higher though later down the line. LinkedIn is not great with stock refreshers.
If WLB is what you prefer and you got the same TC, then why are you asking? Everyone knows that FB is a sweat shop and LinkedIn has among the best WLB in the valley. Need I say more? Okay, promotions happen faster at LinkedIn. Need I say more? Okay, MSFT stock is unstoppable. Need I say more? Okay, you don't have to worry about the social manipulation that is going on at FB. You work with a clean conscious at LinkedIn. Need I say more? Okay, our CEO does his 1:1's by walking around campus so you always run into him and can ask him questions. He doesn't walk around with a team of bodyguards. Need I say more? Okay!
Promotions do not happen faster at LinkedIn. The staff process has gotten much harder in the past year or so, and senior is also getting more difficult. It's much easier to get E4 and E5 at Facebook. But totally agree on WLB.
I do not have actual numbers from LinkedIn yet
what teams at LI? Blind says LI’s application teams are shit show.
I can’t even get an interview at LinkedIn. Was supposed to have an on site and the recruiter ghosted me
LinkedIn, better WLB, almost no refresher. Difficult promotion. Not so interesting work. Facebook, automatic refresher. Better brand value. I don’t know much about anything else. I might come back to LinkedIn to ‘retire’.
yup - lots of LI to FB, not in reverse
LinkedIn for sure
LinkedIn. Facebook’s great days are over. Now comes the protracted and painful collapse of zuck’s empire.
If you are aiming for good wlb then surely go with LI. I heard LinkedIn has good food too. Otherwise I don’t see it as a hard question.
