Stay in Facebook (E4) or Google L4

PhD + 1+ y.o.e. Hey Blind members. Recently got offer from Google (L4). I am working for Facebook(E4) with 1+ y.o.e. Google is the security team at Sunnyvale. Google provides higher package. I am very confused at this moment and would like to get views from the community. Any candid feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You’ve missed PhD part

E4 of course. At G you’ll stuck at L4 forever. At FB you’ll promote in 2 years or less.

No promotion signal from manager.

You don’t have a chance to not promote to E5 at FB. If you don’t promote, you get 🔥 and goto G L4.

If you don't mind my asking, what's the PhD field? Is it from a top CS school?

Early on in your career maximize expertise over TC. Think about how this job would set you up for the next. I’d go with the offer that gives you the best opportunity to grow skills. If that happens to be the highest paying, that’s awesome.
