Facebook vs Amazon Offer Comparison
Hello, I've received offers from Facebook and Amazon, please advise: Facebook E6 M1 Location: FB LA Base: $225 Bonus: 20% RSU: $950k Signing: $100k TC: $507k Amazon L6 SDM Location: Seattle Base: $157k Sign-On Payment: $400k RSU: $520k TC: $410k When factoring in CA CoL and Taxes, the net is almost identical.
LA is pretty equivalent to Seattle for COL. Difference in taxes is about 10%. I'd take the FB offer.
FB LA is in West LA which is significantly more expensive. It’s on par with SF - looking at 2k more a month CoL on average. When combined with higher CA taxes it’s about the same net TC.
Do you know about Blind polls?
I'd go to LA over Seattle any day, even with equal TC
FB would also give refreshers irrespective of how the stock is doing. Amazon won’t.
Amazon gives refreshers if they need to Maintain your comp or if you’re doing great. There’s an annual performance review.
FB hands down. Also what's it like to work at National Park Service?
These 2 positions are different levels if you didn’t know that. Amazon sde starts from 4.
levels.fyi indicates that L6 SDM == E6 M1. They appear to be the same level?
There is no promotion from IC to Manager. Do you think E5 and M1 are same level in FB ? If no, then how is L6 SDM == E6 M1?
Fb E6==amazon L7

Thanks everyone for your input. I’m op I just had to have a friend post for me because of all the sensitive snowflakes flagging me for stuff. I agree that all other things being equal, FB is a better offer and opportunity and company. Given the locations of the two offices I think the net TC is basically the same. I’m already in Seattle so it just comes down to do I want to deal with the BS of a giant move like that.
A real no-brainer. Poor attempt at masking the flex
