Is Facebook having trouble hiring?
I interviewed a couple years ago there and reneged an E5 offer (for the curious, 190base, 15% bonus, 600k rsu, 50k signon, this was in 2017). Recently, recruiters have been bombarding me with weekly emails or texts saying “we really would like you”, “your interview performance was stellar”, “the team is really asking for you”. Seems weird, since it’s all of a sudden.
Reneged = you accepted and then bailed? What was the TC on offer at FB and the competing company?
Yes. No competing company, I stayed at my current one since my TC is higher (early startup employee).
Only trouble hiring E5+, E3/E4 are pretty easy to find.
Currently, recruiter said they are only looking for ppl with more than 7 years of experience. Is that true?
Wonder which startup is it
Can’t say, I could be easily identifiable. It’s a good 5y b2b startup in growing mode with valuation in the high 9 figures. But clearly they don’t pay nearly enough for new hires, I got there very early and that’s why my stock package ballooned. I think for new hires offers are just in the 200-300k TC depending on yoe.
What’s your TC with the stock growth? We can shed light on the upper range of unconventional offers at FANG.
Out of curiosity ask them what max TC they would be willing to give you this time.
YOE?
8 now. 6 when I interviewed.
Weird flex, but okay
Yes they do
