(TC at the end) First, thank you blind. I discovered it only few weeks ago while getting an offer. For those of you who got rejected- keep trying! I applied to Google and Facebook twice and failed. I finally made it. Anyways I got accepted by both Google and Facebook for M1/L6 position and felt so happy that my hard work and long process finally paid off. I've found Google's process very slow and "heavy". My experience was much better with Facebook - got an offer really fast, recruiters were amazing so as the people I met with. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are the apps I use the most, the "move fast" really speaks to me (I'm a startup guy) and I found a better team at FB so buttom line I've decided to decline Google (feels good to say it after getting rejected before) and go with Facebook. While negotiating I found on blind that FB can pay up to 100k sign-on so was able to bump my sign-on to that. So thanks blind for giving me extra $50k :) Btw, Google matched my FB offer. TC at Facebook M1: $514k $220k base, $1M RSU, 20% bonus, $100k signon Thanks blind 🙏
Congrats OP
Thank you. I hope it will help someone in the future as I'm gonna delete blind soon before I discovere I got low balled.
Sounds like a pretty good offer. Congrats
Whats your previous company?
Prefer not to say as it was small startup. Not a FAANG or any known 🦄
Ok. Totally understand. Congrats!
Congrats :)
Welcome to Facebook! You've earned it
That’s great congrats on the great offer , can you please talk a little about the interview for the m1 role , will help a lot thanks . How were the design questions , architecture ? Management questions ?
Coding was leetcode hard, a lot of behavior questions, management was mostly about your experience and approaching to things. Architecture was hard, 2 different sessions but by far my favorite as it really shows how much knowledge you got over the years vs coding that can be hit or miss
That’s really helpful , I am assuming the design questions go at depth from data storage , distributed computing to ML , UI solutions if needed is that a fair understanding ? Any recommendations apart from the hands on in building these complex architectures up ? Also how many rounds did you have leetcode hard ?
How long did you prepare for fb and google ?
Applied twice before so years :) this time I studied for a month+-
That’s way too low for E6/M1. People are getting 600k+ TC for that level! Jk jk lol. Well done! Great offer. Congrats🎊🎊
You had me for a second lol
You actually have a TC of $614k for the 1st year not 514 right ?
Are you in engineering?
Yes, M1 is engineer manager
congrats on the offer! Did u specifically ask to interview for M1/e6? Or they levelled you after the interview?
I didn't know about levels at all before. Recruiter placed me on that level after initial call.
