    I would take Square over FB because FB is a societal cancer.

      FB is also a news delivery, marketplace, messenger connecting people and most of all a great way to share live experiences.

      One thing I hate about Facebook is they keep buying companies and make sure they stay at top and no one else.

    Because Facebook work culture is not something I want to deal with.

  • It’s actually pretty simple. If you value WLB join square. If instead you’re optimizing for maximum career growth and learning join FB. The TC difference isn’t enough to be the deciding factor here.

      I am not sure why people keep generalizing. Surely not all teams at FB support maximum career growth? If that were the case, everyone at FB would be getting promoted left and right. Is that really the case?

      @fire2025 blablabla. Generalization is when you say that every case of group is the same. The idea here is that on average some place is like something. And you can say that on average FB is like something. That doesn't mean that every case applies to the average.
