Why is Facebook compensation for software engineer same irrespective of location? They offer the same pay for Melno park as well as Seattle
That’s not true globally. Or even within the US. But yes compensation between Seattle and Menlo Park is the same.
And same for Boston and NYC
What about state tax?
They come up with compensation ranges based on current compensation other companies in the same industry provide in that area and *not* on the local cost of living. FB pays the same in Seattle and Menlo Park even though Seattle has lower cost of living because that's what companies there are paying. London has an even more expensive cost of living and yet you get a 20+% comp cut if you transfer there.
When you say they pay the same, do you mean total comp or base or base+initial rsu?
Yes. The same.
Curious why an Amazon guy is asking about Facebook offer. Jealous much?
Like you haven’t got offers elsewhere before
Don't be a dick
Wow
Why it should be different?
Because cost of living
It’s the same
