I am working in Berlin in a startup after moving here in 2019.
I accepted offer from Shopify and rejected offers from Amazon Berlin(TC: 140k euros) and Snowflake(170k euros) due to personal reasons.

After accepting offer from Shopify, I decided move to London and they started the process already and I will move sometime before this year end.
They will provide me updated compensation soon for London.

Now out of nowhere I got call from Facebook London.

I have following questions.

1. I know cracking Amazon SDE2 is easier than FB E5, but how much additional prep time needed considering amazon bar? I know its relative, but even a vague answer might help me visualise better.
2. If I get E5, Is it good decision to jump ship since I wont get Shopify stocks till first year (33.33% will be released after 1st year)
3. Also has anyone ever dumped employer after relocation?
4. I applied many time to FB in the past but got call only now. Will they consider me if I say "I will attend after 8 months"?
5. My resume never got call form any big companies except Amazon because of my background I guess(college and companies). Can I assume, once I move to London and start working in Shopify(Which I believe is a decent enough brand) I will get call up from companies like FB, Google, Snap etc..? So that I can say no to FB confidently now without worrying about getting big company interview calls?

Shopify TC : 120000Euros + 97500$ stocks(3 years)
Current TC: peanuts

Thank you so much. #tech #facebook #shopify #fb #career #advice

    Ask FB recruiter to reach out to you in a few months time. If you feel like you want to still attend FB right now, do it. If you get an offer and leave in 2 months time, you’ll burn bridges with Shopify but may be you’ll be happier in the end.

  • Sorry but this is a big misconception people have. Facebook London hiring bar recently is a joke, everyone in my circle who has applied has got in. I personally cleared both Amazon L5 and Facebook E4. Amazon interviews were significantly harder than Facebook.

    • Hey do you mean coding is not tough and system design is not challenging enough? Asking this as my perception is FB do ask LC hard often.

    • True... Depth of system design is interviewer dependent, usually not very tough. And FB mostly asks LC Medium, obviously some odd easy and hard here and there but even three Hards are medium - hards.

    I feel Shopify stock has more room to grow than FB.

    If FB recruiting is the same as the US, you’ll have up to a year to accept the offer.

    Join Shopify now and in a year quit for FB.
