I’m tired of walking on egg shells, and thinking I may get fired anytime. But everywhere else seems like a downgrade including Google that would downlevel me and take me a long time to get promoted. So I’m stuck. Hows Airbnb, Uber, Lyft etc and would it look bad careerwise if I go there from FB. YOE : 2 TC : 240k
Why don't you interview at Google and go iff they don't downlevel you?
Changing team might be a better option. With 2 yoe, likely you can’t find a better TC than your current one. Stick to it a bit, once you get E5 at fb it would be a much better position for you to switch
Not true. Dozens of companies pay 300k for L4
When you say downgrade, what exactly do you mean by that? The level? Or the TC? Or the brand? If it's the last one I would say you got it completely wrong. It's highly unlikely that you are going to be levelled at L5 anywhere and if you do your interviews well L4 is easily achievable.
Brand. I’m an L4 now, so I’m not trying to get to L5 now. But I’ll probably get there within the next year or two at FB
Then I would say you're thinking is wrong. Brand carries little value the more you grow. According to you people who were working at small startups (that are huge now) are not good at what they do or Facebook on your resume carries more weight? Impact of what you do matters much more and at a company the size of Facebook you have to either be a genius or get very lucky to be placed in a situation of high impact. Chase what you want to do and TC and not the brand.
If you are always worried about being fired, anywhere you go, it would be an upgrade for you.
Can you elaborate on why you feel like this? Considering an offer from fb so your inputs may help.
It might mostly be my team actually. I have a toxic tech lead.
Sounds like op needs to change teams
Why do you think downgrade? Come to linkedin, I seriously think this company is reasonable in what we do and how we do it.
Why do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells and have the fear of being fired anytime?
Come to Apple, high TC and chill wlb

Google doing more layoffs, restructuring including country moves
Probably would look better to join one of those companies.
How?
More varied experience. Higher talent bar.
