      Good WLB in Goog is way exaggerated. Cloud does not enjoy good wlb.

    • Yeah any big company will have variations, even Microsoft has teams with worse WLB than most FB teams. So chose your team wisely. Look for experienced managers, most people in the team being older with kids etc. Ask the manager directly that you care about WLB, how is it in his team? And look for the little giveaways to see how much he cares about it.

      Within the company, look if they are doing code reviews and commits late at night or on weekends, check their tasks especially on call tasks and chatter in their groups.

    Airbnb can go to 450-500k tc for L5. Great wlb. Lots of fb folks here already. Big stock refreshers too. Definitely try interviewing here.

    You jumped 2 levels in 3.5 years, no wonder you think WLB is bad. Try cruising for a bit as E5.

    Why don’t you try changing teams at FB; Usually there will be atleast a few not so interesting teams that are desperately looking for people.

    • @tooh LinkedIn can very well match $300k -$350k for a high Sr Swe. Staff is generally $400k+.
      @mad Your best bet is Sr Swe with a target of $350k comp.

    • ya for Sr (350k) op might need a counter and have gr8 interview scores. Staff 400k+ is not easy you need a strong counter to get that high. 350k is the mean. some staffs at LinkedIn make >400k because of the stock appreciation.
