Is it better to be a high performer in a tier 2 company and get promotion quickly (to become Manager or SM) or switch to a tier 1 company? In mid 20s and facing this conundrum. Got offers from Fb, A and G where TC is slightly less than what I’m making mainly the equity part (stock appreciation of PP has been great). Appreciate any serious thoughts on the same. PS - please don’t get stuck on T1 and T2 company debate! Current TC - 240K YOE - 5
Won't you be able to negotiate If you got 3 offers ?
I did but Google low balled it and are not willing to budge. FB and Apple are giving high base but somewhat low equity.
FB (from what I’ve heard) and Apple have great refreshers, depending upon your performance of course. I’m really interested in hearing about Google’s response to your negotiation. Who offered you the highest base?
Did u get L4 offers? L5 offers would easily be much more than 240k.
Google was L3! Might have messed up the interview
Any more thoughts on this ^
Optimize for TC. 240k for 5 yoe sounds amazing. Stay if you are happy with your assignments.
Not learning anything new
If you want your hands on good work involving learning and exposure, coupled with good money - I’d say you have a ‘better’ shot at Facebook.
