[NYC] Uber 5a vs Facebook E5

I have been at Amazon but recently received the following two offers to choose from, both located in NYC: Facebook E5 MLE/RS: FAIR, 440k TC Uber 5a MLE: Ubereats delivery time prediction, 450k TC Current TC: ~250k, L5 at Amazon Alexa YOE: 6.5 These two offers look very close to me, e.g. same level, same pay, same big name, and similar tech stack. I like both managers almost equally. Please offer your insights - I will buy you meals in NYC if close :) #salarycomparison #facebook #facebookbenefits #facebookcompensation #facebooke5 #uber5a #uber #uberbenefits #ubereats

Wow , how did you get into FAIR? Do you have a PhD ? Facebook any day over Uber.

Amazon chidai OP Apr 22, 2021

why why why? it sounds like an easy choice for ya.

Amazon chidai OP Apr 22, 2021

nah. no PhD. it is more MLE than RS but in FB the title doesn't matter much.

Gartner ☠️golem Apr 23, 2021

is your offer 440k excluding the sign on ?

Amazon chidai OP May 29, 2021

yea

Both are strong offers. Could you break down ur Uber offer a bit? Sign-on included? then we can give better suggestions.

What role at Amazon Alexa if you don't mind sharing? Wondering what I should exit to as research scientist in Alexa AI.

If you still haven't made your decision, I'd suggest you to pick FAIR. One of the hardest Orgs to get into as they're very selective.

Amazon chidai OP May 5, 2021

still debating lol. I just figured it was facebook AI but not FAIR...

How did you prepare for FB interviews? What was the breakdown for the rounds? LC + Stats/ML + System Design?

Could you share your role in Alexa?

Rather than Facebook vs Uber, its FAIR vs Uber. So if you're into ML and research, Fair is a no-brainer here.
