I may be joining FB as an E4 and the recruiter has given me an option to choose from the 3 locations. I am trying to think of what are the pros and cons of each office?
Come to Seattle if you want more money. No income tax + cheaper housing is not insignificant.
Yoe ?
Masters with 2 years exp
NYC: girls
Some people love Seattle weather, some people hate it. Investigate what type of weather you like before making the decision. However, I’ve known a handful of people that moved away from Seattle and they all had plans to make it back there at some point.
And be prepared for Seattle freeze. People are pretty reserved and not easy to make conversations lol
NYC...growing office and opportunities in a better city with more things to do.
Do you work at FB NY?
^+1 I would love to ask you few more questions if so.
It looks like they are only considering me for the ny office. In all I am very psyched about the team in general. The team is present at all three locations but the question that is bothering me is would I get the same visibility, kind of work, impact as I would get in the larger offices - mpk and Seattle?
What team? I wouldn’t worry about being able to move to MPK or Seattle in the future if that’s what you want
Sea: no sales tax, office in city. MPK: more teams, office in nowheresville
MPK is not in the city but it’s definitely not “nowheresville” it’s in a beautiful wealthy area and a spitting distance away from San Jose, and a little further away from San Francisco. Either way there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had in and around MPK
