I'm interviewing with FB for NYC L4 SWE (along with Google, Uber, Amazon, and Two Sigma), and from whatever I get, my priorities will be 1. Promotion velocity, 2.

We all know that TC growth is faster when we jump ship than wait for internal promotion or merit increase.

Currently a L5 AS at Amazon, making good money (tc below) On promo path to L6 but org is saturated with L6 scientists and any promotion post L6 in org/Amazon looks hard/ upto politics.
