Have three offers on the table. All offers are for permanent remote (high COL area). Have not negotiated with any of them yet.

1) Roblox IC5; TC 580K
280K base + 300K RSU (1.2M/4 years), no cliff + no bonus + no sign on
This is one of the least interesting offers for me in terms of role/scope, so Iโ€™m probably going to pass on that.

2) Meta E6; TC 563K (base, stock and bonus only, not including refreshers or sign on)
240K base + 275K RSU (1.1M/4 years), no cliff + 48K bonus (20%) + 50K sign-on
This one is interesting because it feels like thereโ€™s a lot of stock upside getting the grant at March average prices.
I think I can push them a bit higher on stock and sign-on?

3) LinkedIn Senior Manager; TC 544K
245K base + 250K RSU (1M/4 years), 1 year vesting cliff + 49K bonus (20%) + 50K sign-on
This is a manager position instead of an IC position. I did interview for a Sr. Staff role some time ago and completely butchered my coding round (was tired and sick the day of the interview, first time I failed coding in YEARS), but did really well in every other round and was offered to do two more rounds for a Sr. Manager, passed those last week.
Iโ€™ve heard good things about LinkedIn WLB, but how is it for managers?
I think I can push them a bit higher on stock? Can I negotiate removal of the 1 year vest cliff?

YoE: 11. Managing AND contributing in my current role (officially an L5 manager but doing 30% hands-on).

Current TC: 590K (calculated with an actual stock price), 870K (on paper with $200 stock target).

Appreciate your feedback, and feel free to ask any questions (except about โ€œprepโ€ - I didnโ€™t really prepare in any special way for any of these interviews except reading up on company core values/pillars before behavioral)!

    Do you enjoy being a manager or would you rather be an IC?

      I see what youโ€™re saying! And agree with the relationship building part!

      Although to me it feels like IC5 shouldnโ€™t be working on self-contained projects. Or, at least, shouldnโ€™t be doing it for prolonged periods of time.

      In my humble opinion, the whole idea of a high-level IC is to drive technical alignment across the organization for the subjects theyโ€™re an SME on. To influence technical decisions.

    • Agreed that at roblox the scope for the same level is much smaller. Eg. ic5 equivalent to E6 working on self contained projects. Itโ€™s just like an e4. Itโ€™ll hurt the career at the long run. Roblox is chaos internally.
      Some of the roblox accounts are recruiters or HR people to sell roblox.

  • Bro take linkedin. You will have the opportunity to actually enjoy the money you make. The other offers aren't significantly better enough to make the sacrifice

    I'd go with LinkedIn if you want to be manager and Roblox if IC.
    If you are interested in Meta - def push for more. Sign on can be 100k and more stocks. Also, what do you mean by "no cliff"? There is cliff at Meta at 4 years.

  • TC wise none of them is a huge bump but not sure if you work at company Blind says you are so TC might not be your top priority.

    I would say focus on Meta or LinkedIn offers. I personally don't find Roblox interesting. Considering you are manager I would say Linkedin would be smoother transition and they have relaxed culture as far as I heard.

    Meta E6 is intense role and they are really performance cycle oriented company. Not saying it's bad if you are used to relaxed work pace it might be hard to adjust yourself. Otherwise they are still top level and work is probably more interesting that LinkedIn

      I love how a lot of people are voting for me to stay.
      Iโ€™m tired of Wayfair lately. Lost half of the team because the org refuses to retain. 0 hiring.

      And not getting a promo because I didnโ€™t demonstrate impact at L6 level. With two consecutive 1 ratings at L5. Lol, how should I if I have no people to do the damn work?

      You gotta pay me 7 figures to deal with this BS.

      Time to leave, choose linkedin for WLB and their old school graph tech.
