Haven't worked at FAANG before but am in the interview process at FB for IC5 data scientist.
My wife and I are expecting our first child in April of next year so that will be my main priority. The FB IC5 potential pay bump is attractive (especially with a kid on the way) but I don't want to be grinding 50+ hrs while trying to take care and bond with my newborn.
Any FB DS folks willing to comment on WLB? Assuming IC5 is more stressful than IC4?

Go for it, WLB is very team dependent. Also since IC5 is a terminal band, you can take it easy for a couple of years and settle with MA
