Facebook Competition
- Hotel Tonight Can someone comment on hotel tonight: What's the engineering culture like? Are they doing well as a company? How competitive is the compensation compared to Facebook or Google?
- Facebook offer: 5 years exp: SWE Currently L62 at Microsoft. I have an Fb offer. What level should I expect at Fb? What would a **competitive** base + stock + joining-bonus look for my profile? I'm talking to HR about comp and wanted to be ready. Thanks for help folks!
- Why did tech interviews become so hard? 5 years ago tech interviews were mostly LC easy/medium and were somewhat doable. Interviewed with fb and they expected two leetcode medium to be done in 45 mins. Google and Microsoft both asked LC hard and several smaller startups ask LC hard too. Is there too much competition? Too much immigratio
- Why so many people in MS and Amazon want to leave? At least for mid/entry level positions, I get this impression from reading stuff online and talking to engineers that worked there. Has MS or Amazon tried anything to be more competitive with companies like FB or Google?
- Where do data engineers from FB move next? Thinking about career prospects for data engineers at FB outside the mothership . Which other companies do you want to work with after FB? I'm not seeing many companies other than FB that hires data engineers and pays competitively? Do lyft and Uber hire data engineers? How often do data engineers c
- Pinterest levels and comp Are Pinterest levels the same/on par with G/FB i.e. L5/L6 at Pinterest == L5/L6 at G/FB? Also how is the comp at Pinterest? I know they probably don't do bonuses but in terms of base + paper money do they make competitive offers as say Airbnb, Uber etc? Thanks.
- FB versus Indeed Which would you choose? Similar TC ~330. FB: variety and challenge of technical work, fast pace, higher comp ceiling, excellent benefits, resume strength (does it even matter?) Indeed: wlb, less competitive/intense culture, smaller so more opportunity for impact, good eng culture Is that an accur
- Facebook WLB l haven’t heard anything nice about this, I met people leaving due to cutthroat (and unreasonable) performance evalutions. Any recent insider observations on WLB and allegedly toxic competitive culture at FB?
- Facebook E5 to Manager How easy it is to go to M0 at Facebook if you are at E5. And how difficult or competitive is the promotion from E5 to E6 or M0 to M1. I have an offer from Facebook. Career growth is what I am interested in right now.
- vote Employees of Google/Facebook/Microsoft/Apple. Do you ever feel guilty about working for a monopoly? The listed four companies are wildly profitable due to their monopolies: Google in search ads, Facebook in social media ads, Microsoft in desktop software, and Apple in cell phone hardware. This allows them to charge more than they would in a properly competitive environment. Do you feel bad working
- Facebook RPM Just realized the FB RPM application is open for another 24 hours - can anyone tell me how competitive it is? What’s the class size and number of experienced hired they take every year?

- Stay in Zillow or Take Facebook Offer? I’ve been in Zillow for a year at P4 (equivalent to E5 at Facebook). Recently got a E4 offer from Facebook. Should I take the offer and jump to FB or stay in Zillow and continue my career growth here? Their offer is very competitive for that level. TC of the offer is 290K plus 70 sign on. It’s comp
- How's zoom increased 4x? The product is so buggy and it has a lot of competition right? Between MS teams, slack, Google meet, WebEx (kind of) and I think FB is jumping in this field too. Are people actually moving towards zoom or is it all speculative?
- vote Facebook engineers, how many hrs per week do you work? Considering a job offer at FB... currently at eBay where I’m a super duper top performer. FB technology, perks, culture all seem far superior, pay is comparable, but my WLB at eBay is cake. I’ve heard lots of complaints about cut throat competition and poor WLB at Facebook so creating a poll to se
- Do these companies raise salary if you come with a competitive offer Oracle Facebook Two Sigma I am sure in some individual cases they defenitely do, but what about their general approach? I feel some companies prefer to let people go and don’t consider competitive offers.
- Levels.FYI - Not Accurate Under Certain Circumstances A friend got a FB Offer. Moving from a private no-name company to Facebook as a L5 PM. I asked him how accurate was this screenshot below. He said NOT AT ALL. Unless you have a competing offer or are coming from another competitive company; Google to FB,etc. Thoughts on this? He said he had no lev
- Do Google interviewers ask tougher questions to competitive programmers ?

Google interviewers, t
- Facebook Portal fail Why’s Facebook continuing to put out their cheap azz portals when it’s no competition to echo show. They can use that money to focus on oculus and streamlining it. Amazon has a monopoly in smart home systems now.

- Principal PM at LinkedIn Current IC7 PM at Facebook evaluating roles at LinkedIn. At FB, IC7 is very senior at/near director equivalent for people managers. As such, comp is very competitive.

- competitive programming world Coming across so many incoming swe at google/facebook/uber and finding one thing common in all of them is ACM/ICPC contests, which means most of them have finised codeforces.

- Facebook interview feedback ghosting I recently interviewed for Facebook london and after on-site interviews I waited for 2.5 weeks after which I got rejection.

- Future of Snap? Joined Snap very recently and i'm wondering if Snap has a promising future. The WLB, TC are great compared to previous jobs(FB etc.). But it is a competitive world out there.

- Facebook culture as bad as they say? Considering leaving Microsoft for an IC5 PM job at FB. Comp is good, role seems interesting, but I'm concerned about culture.

- Internal transfer from Bay Area to NY Looking for Bay Area companies with competitive pay and significant satellite presence in NY. How hard is it to do internal transfers from the Bay Area to NY? I know Google, FB, and Uber have offices in NY...
- What exactly is “High bar” So amazon, Microsoft don’t have a high bar, but google Facebook does. Google looks for hardcore leetcoders, and hell if you go India they’re expecting a seasoned competitive programmer. So that must be the high bar detector, no? But no at the same time “oh leetcode is never used in real life, Oh it
- When people say FANG or FAANG do they actually consider Netflix? The company seems to have no future considering their cash burn and competition in forms of Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Facebook whatever, Hulu, Disney+, HBO and ABC who have capital, a strong customer base and other profiltability sources (except Hulu maybe) Also heard horrible things about work cultu

- Does Austin has higher pay than Texas-Remote? Austin is getting really expensive and competitive for real estate, whereas other areas in Texas may still be affordable. It's easy to save 2x by going elsewhere in Texas (outside of Austin metro). But will you get paid less than in Austin? Does Amazon, Facebook, Google, anyone else offering remot
- link TikTok VS YouTube With growing popularity, i have a feeling that TikTok will take down Google in very near future. Here some of the reasons why i think so. 1. Around 80% of Google’s revenue comes from ads. A major chunk of that comes from YouTube. Google is heavily dependent on ads. 2. TikTok has already killed Met
- new H1B requirements are bad for top tier American SWEs With the elimination of WITCH H1Bs, more H1Bs will go to SWEs in highly paid top tier firms (eg. FAANG), which would mean more supply/competition for these roles (potentially lowering wages). American SWEs in top tier firms should oppose this new H1B bill unless it comes with a corresponding reduct
- High TC Companies in NYC to Interview Preparing for L5 interviews at Google and FB in Feb-Apr. What other companies are in NYC that can be competitive on TC to Google L5 level?

- vote Did you turn down a fb offer for amzn? If so, why? I’ve got two very competitive offers from both companies. Amzn wouldn’t require me to move (Seattle), fb would (LA). The amzn project is established and I know for a fact the wlb is fine due to a colleague on the team. Fb project is in startup mode therefore much higher risk. Finally, e
- Second Tier Companies? Making transition as a PM into the tech world is very competitive and difficult to get your foot in the door with these first tier companies. I.e Microsoft, amazon, Facebook, Google What are some second tier companies that are a good step up? Examples are Expedia or Capital one. Not top of the top
- which new companies can reach the scale of Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon/Facebook in today's day and age? looking at how snap is crushed by Facebook and Google being sued in EU, Amazon buying whole foods tanking all retailers, it looks like tech giants will never allow any kind of competition to grow. how will we see the innovation beyond these walled garden

- TC going down next year, very bad at tech interviews I hate the competition for tech interviews.
