Facebook made me an offer for lead network engineer at their new data center in Utah. They couldn’t make the offer good enough for me to justify a change, especially considering the WLB. I usually work about 40 hours, but they made it obvious overtime would be expected. IC4 $105k ($51/hr) + overtime $55k RSU’s over 4 years 10% annual bonus They didn’t want to make me an IC5, and said the base couldn’t change. This is less money than I make. I’m not disclosing current TC since I’m too identifiable if any coworkers found this post. I know someone else who got turned down for this position, and said they wouldn’t have accepted the offer either. I’m curious to know if they’ll be able to get someone past their interviews who will accept an offer like this.
That RSU is disappointingly low
If you're an IC4 you're not a Lead.
Yep Full timers can claim overtime as well? I would have been a millionaire at Amazon if they allowed that.
They said it would become the lead role. Not sure how it works with IC4 being the first engineer on-site. Perhaps they were trying to sell me on the role.
IS FB lowballing RSUs recently despite what is average for that particular level?
every job description says “lead” or “senior” now a days 🤣 they want people to do more work and have a fancy title, but for less $&
105k + overtime? is utah unionized or something? how did you get a tech job at FB that pays overtime.
Standard for IC4 network engineers in their data centers apparently.
There’s plenty of folks that will try out for it. Cost of living has to be less in Utah, right?
The pay to cost of living is decent, but I don’t k ow anyone with the qualifications they’re looking for who isn’t already making more than this.
