Currently a senior engineer(level 4)at LinkedIn, got two offers as mentioned in the title. Need some help and guidance to make a decision, I break down different perspectives as below: Package: fb better because of its level, however, I do see potential in airbnb’s stocks. Commute: fb better, need to commute to the city for airbnb. WLB: seems airbnb is much better. With fb’s up-leveling, I would see myself struggle a lot at least in the first year. I have never been a level 5 engineer in my current job, so starting in highly competitive place with a new level...I am not sure if that’s a good idea or not. Growth: both teams are not decided yet. I would think FB has more freedom to choose teams. More context: am a female who doesn’t like stressful working styles a lot, and cares a lot about family, otherwise I wouldn’t start this post I guess lol. Probably most people will go to FB. Any advices will be appreciated! Tc: current 310k, airbnb offer: 330k, fb offer 360k
Wow congrats. Any tips on leetcode prep for fb? How many questions did you solve?
Fb is fairly well known for pip culture. Airbnb can outpay FB easily but the commute is real
Have you been to Airbnb's office? It's beautiful
Yah I went there for interview, it’s beautiful
TC and YOE?
Last year tc is around 310k, 5 years of experience
Gonna be a tc or gtfo from me dawg
I shared everything, didn’t know this is a rule here
Airbnb has office in San Jose downtown. Working there might be better for South Bay folks.
Obviously biased, but I would root for Airbnb for the cult(ure) (in a good way).
From experience ... Never ever downgrade your level
TC or GTFO. Gotta give back to the community if you want us to help you
I shared my current tc and potential tc from these two offers
Great! Might be worth editing your main post so people can see but nbd. Airbnb definitely has less pressure (on avg), and since tc is only 30k off, being downleveled isn’t the end of the world —you should pick the environment you think you can thrive. The uplevel to L5 will come sooner or later :)
Offer breakdown ?
The offers are not finalized, but it’s around 360k for fb and around 330k for airbnb
Op, how does 360 break down, in base, sign on, rsu?
