- AirBnB vs. FB L5 I have a competing offer from Airbnb (~450k TC), my FB TC is ~400k. 4 YOE. Anyone from Airbnb or (those from FB that transitioned) care to comment on work-life balance at L5/L6? Comparatively how’s career growth at Airbnb (promos, reviews, etc)
- What Next? Just promoted to SDE II, shit pay increase, boring work, lazy team. Where should I go next? Where did other Amazonians go after promo? I’d like to stay in Seattle. Thinking something not FAANG like Snap, Airbnb, Lyft, etc. Thoughts? TC: 180k YoE: 2

- Ever gotten an upleveled offer? Lots of talk about getting offers below your current position, but has anyone ever gotten a promo when changing jobs? I know a guy who went from an Amazon L5 to Senior at airbnb because they recognized his *excellent* technical abilities and leadership/mentoring potential, only time I have heard of
- vote Google L5 -> FB/Airbnb L6. worth it? Google L5 - 400k TC FB - 500k TC Airbnb - similar to FB (numbers not counting bonuses and refreshers) WLB is good at Google and work is reasonably interesting. Promo oportunities are harder to come by though. would be curious to get the perspective for those of you who made a similar move.
- Move from Google to AirBnb/FB/Uber? I joined Google at an L4 level in spite of having higher level offers from other companies (level 5 and 6). My TC is 350k including 150k stocks and at the time it seemed ok. But I’m not satisfied with my level as I have 6yrs of experience. I have L5 offer from Uber n L6 from LinkedIn and yet to tal
- Infra @ Airbnb Seattle Have an offer to join Airbnb in Seattle. Perks, comp, wlb all look great. My one reservation is finding infra heavy work. My understanding is that Airbnb organizes teams vertically, so almost everyone is full stack. Are there teams in Seattle that just build back-end and have good growth/mentorship
- Equity down 50%, seeking PM referrals My equity value is now down 50% from my initial grant, so it’s time to jump ship. I’m up for promo in this half, but even with the bump I’ll be making less in 2022 than I did in 2020. Could anyone help out with a PM referral to the following companies? I’m targeting a lateral move to L7/M2. And DM

As title says, looking for Snap, Stripe, Uber, Airbnb, would
- Airbnb Layoffs were not performance based *NOTE I was not affected by layoffs* its really sad to see the majority of top performers cut. Leadership blindly made these decisions by keeping their friends and what would look good from a diversity perspective. Its truly very said to see a lot of recent promos and folks with GE and EE ratings b
- Companies with good WLB and TC for L5 SWEs I'm L5 SWE at Google right now. Looking to switch companies for a TC boost. What are some good companies with: 1) good WLB (~40h) 2) good TC (targeting 350k+ and good yearly refreshers) 3) don't care much about career growth/promos. Some companies my friends have recommended are Salesforce, LinkedI

- What companies are worth jumping ship to from AWS? Bored at Amazon, team is trash, L6 promo is at least 18mo. Even then with TT and crazy stock growth not worth much. What companies are worth jumping to? What places will give senior opportunity (real ones, not LinkedIn/Bloomberg “senior”)? Interested in best growth, less so about immediate TC - ei
- FB/G: Grass greener on the other side When I was at FB, its blind channel was full of complaints about crappy code, bad wlb, high stress, etc. and folks advising to switch to Google, Airbnb etc. for a better life. I was there for 4 years, was fed up with the hectic life and moved to Google. Now on Google’s blind channel I see folks co

- What should I ask for to leave a comfy job with growth potential? Few months ago my TC at Square/Block dropped to 240K due to the stock and I started interviewing.

- Companies better than LinkedIn I’m now at some infra team at LinkedIn. Overall it’s positive experience with amazing culture, high engineering standard, good pay and learning. However I feel people around are talented, and promo is quite slow. Even though I get promoted, people say LinkedIn title is inflated, which I disagree at
- If you kick ass, can you get a promo in 6 months? I don’t mean the “I think I really kicked ass this year” type of kick ass, I mean kick ass as in you made an impact org wide.

- Where can I jump from FB as senior product DS Been at fb for 4+ yr, IC5, total comp a little above 300K, no near term promo or mgr opportunity.

I lived with it figuring I'd just work towards a promotion (CME,
- Designers are underpaid Should Product Designers really be earning 50-60% less than our Software Engineering or PM counterparts?
