Currently making around $270-280K TC at AMZN as an L5 AS. Recently got an E4 offer from FB that comes to around $210k TC in the best case. Recruiter said they won’t be able to beat my current comp. Was genuinely surprised as I thought FB pays better than AMZN. Thoughts? Edit: What I mean by TC is base + RSU/4 + max bonus.
It's probably because FB is more of a dog friendly office 🐕

Break out your E4 offer
"Thank you for the offer, but I don't think I can make these numbers work"
+1 They are playing negotiation game, stay firm.
210 is a low ball offer. Get counter offer
Wow, what’s your years of exp? Maybe fb is taking that as a factor as well?
That really depends on what do you mean by making 270k at Amazon. If you’re about to end 4th year you’re getting almost 40% stock, where FB vest 25% each year that’s why 210k is every year at FB, while 270k could probably be the peak at AMZN. There is a limit of E4 comp range
Why is a guy with 7 years of experience going in as an E4? Shouldn’t he be at least an e5?
Shouldn't you be an E5 ? Depends I would take FB if you feel it's worth it
270k target or total due to stock growth?
Target
It’s surprising that they won’t match, then, and wow... nice work on that comp.
