This week got offers from Facebook and Google. Need to make a decision. Wanted opinion on certain aspects.
Offer details,
Total work experience 9years. Currently Senior SDE at Amazon (Total 430 k , thanks to stocks appreciation but targeted at 345-350)
Facebook - 210k , 960k stocks spread across 4 years
And 70k signon. I think 20% bonus. This is for E6 , which recruiter mentioned is equivalent to Senior tech lead/Principal in other firms.
Google (After facebook negotiation) - 190k base, 720k stocks 4 years monthly vest and 50k signon. 15% bonus iirc. This is T5 , senior.
Both are verbal offers and still open.
Google HR mentioned level can not be changed since hiring committe feels I need more substantial experience(Not even sure what it means).
Certainly Facebook comp seems better, however team matched in Google complements my domain expertise.
How difficult is to go from T5 to T6 in Google?
Also reason I am looking out is WlB (pulling 70hrs a week from past year), does Fb have manageable workload ?
Any idea about general accepted ramp up time in Fb before being productive for E6 ?
Thank you in advance for help.

FB will burn your WBL at E6.
That’s top 1% of all L5 in US, not mentioning we rarely hire at 5 anyone with less than 10+ yoe externally.
Take it and thank me later :)
How old are you btw?
I’m personally very glad I came in as E5 and then got promoted to E6 relatively quickly after proving myself. It would’ve been way more stress if I came in as E6 directly.
