Got E5 FB and L64 MS offer confirmation. Waiting for numbers from both. Currently L6 SDE in Amazon. location seattle for both. What could be the right target TC here for FB? Should i give a number to FB recruiter? He is asking for target TC and competing offers. TC 290k YOE 7.5
Competitive market prices, DUH!
I'd say high 300s. I'd ask 450 from fb.
Emm, how many yoe as L6? I thought L6 TC is much higher than 290k
Internally promoted L6 starts near bottom quintile of the band
L6 SDE range is 240-420 in Amazon.
Curious about how much L64 offers, very curious if you can use FB number to match
Got first offer from MS. 240K. Not sure there recruiter even know salary range in other companies.
MS comp is soooo off. They presented the offer to me and they didn't negotiate at all.
How long did it take the recruiter to reach out to you after onsites?
1 week
Btw, can you use L6 as a leverage to get FB E6 or MS 65? Or how hard it can be?
fb said no before interview. said need 2 yr L6 exp to even consider E6 MS said L64 max level they can offer based on interview.
Is it depend on how long you have been L6 at Amazon? Are you newly promoted so Microsoft says max L64? Same story for FB? Cuz I thought amazon L6 is highly appreciated
Based on the numbers you posted below seems like an easy decision. MS is its usual lowballing-completely-disconnected self. No wonder I see posts of people from no-name companies getting shitty offers from MS and accepting them. Seems those are the only people who MS is able to hire these days.
Tree fitty should be your real expectation. I’d ask for 420 tho. Meaning ask for 200k base, 10% bonus, and 800k stawks. Actually expect 180k base, 10% bonus, 600k stawks.
no joining bonus?
200k base is unlikely for E5 and the target bonus is 15%
