Leaving FB because of bad WLB. Recently got offer from Google (no number yet as I need to do team matching). WLB is my top priority. Which org/team in Kirkland has good WLB and interesting projects ?
Current level and tc?
Is GCP crazy
GCP has good and bad teams, people here are quick to shit on it for some reason. The bigger problem is that those teams are almost all boring af
Does boring mean good WLB?
I mean I did team matching with that org and the only team I would've been willing to accept didn't get headcount, so I turned them down. Could just be managers doing a poor job selling it, but GCP just seemed glacial as an org and the problems weren't interesting
What’s does “bad WLB” mean in this case, so I can calibrate?
It means bad work life balance It can happen under 2 scenarios: 1. All life no work 2. All work no life For FB it’s the 2nd one unfortunately
How much time do you spend working at FB? And besides the working hours, is there something else that contributes to bad WLB? I’d appreciate your thoughts, as I’m considering FB as E5 as well, coming from a company where I have the opposite problem: too much life and too little work, I’m not learning enough and feel I’m rotting here.
