What's the average team size for engineering manager one level below director at Facebook?(L7)
20-40 people with average around 30.
Glad you mentioned average. (20+40)/2 = .... huh?
Bystander - You won’t clear FB interview 😂 know distributions ? Let’s solve a problem- of total of 100 managers, 90 have team size of 20 and 10 have team size of 40. Can you calculate the average team size now ? Hint - it’s not 30
👍🏾 “Won’t clear”! Desi much?
M2 (L7) is mostly 15-60. Distribution is not linear ... it’s a wide band that ranges from people managing 2 teams with 1 other manager in the team ... all the way to people with director size orgs/complexity.
That doesn’t include TLMs who are super technical managers with typically much smaller scopes (viewed through team size lens)
There are also M1s managing orgs of ~40 people. Team size is not a good proxy for level - but there is a weak correlation.
In short .. all over the place.
Comparable size from Google anywhere between 10-20. stronger the tech on the team smaller team size you can get away with.
