Recently got the offer from Facebook London but I was told that I was interviewed for E5 but they are willing to offer me E4 as I don't have tech lead experience under my belt. Otherwise from interview point of view, it was a hire from all tech rounds. Wanted to know how many people are at E4 at 6.5 yrs of their career in facebook. Would I be one of very few :( or there are many others? How long does it usually take within facebook to get promoted to E5 from E4? Any help is appreciated. TC: 138k GBP
E4 sounds about right. TC breakdown?
80 base + 8 bonus + 50stocks
Nice. Congrats!
If you’re really good like what you said you are, you should be able to get promo in a year or so
Hey can you share interview experience?
It was really good. All fundamentals, you don't have to cram anything. Mine was front end so everything was quite practical. Even the problem solving rounds were based on a real problem.
Yes you should be VP by now
Generally companies like Facebook promote much faster from within than they hire from without. It's very normal to be e4 with 6 yoe. If you're under leveled Facebook will do a pretty good job at promoting you to 5 quickly. If this offer pays more than your current job already, I say go for it
Thanks. That's really helpful
