Recently got multiple offers, but LI and FB were my too two choices. I accepted LI due to following reasons: 1.) Better WLB 2.) Liked the team 3.) Flexibility to work from India and move to India with RSUs retaining LI offer (SSE) : 185 base, 320K stocks/4yrs, 10% base, 50K sign on, Almost no refreshers FB offer (E4) : 175 base, 400K stocks/4yrs, 10% base, 60K sign on, stacking refreshers. I am planning to move to India and thus this factor has a great weight as well in my decision. Just to clear confusion in comments, only unvested RSUs are carried forward. Base and bonus is adjusted as per new location. This is true for all companies. TC : 225k YOE : 4
No. I would pick LinkedIn over fb too.
Reason ?
Same. I think if you want to move and LinkedIn enables that ,it counts for a lot more. Also LinkedIn is a great company and they are doing some really cool stuff so at least you don't need to worry to much about the moral ambiguity of fb, even though imo fb is also an interesting place to work.
No. I'm about to join Facebook, but I think your decision makes plenty of sense and you're still doing well for yourself. Congrats!
Yes, that was a bad choice. Left a ton of cash on the table and you get to work at the only social network more hated than FB amongst techies.
How when they get to go to india and live like a king/queen. Everything isn’t about money. Id lose 50k for a good wlb. Also LinkedIn pay is just like Facebook…. If not, take away ~10-30k. But the wlb is way better so the hourly rate becomes more than Facebook🤷
The assumption is that Microsoft Enterprise version of Facebook is going to have better WLB than actual Facebook, which I just doubt is going to be true in my experience
Facebook doesnt allow to move to India?
They don’t even allow work from India and they were honest and transparent about it
Is it on your contract that LinkedIn does? Or was that only from the recruiter?
yes. linkedin has way more smooth brains (no offense linkedin)
Honestly, my LI interview was tougher than FB. I am not sure why we say hiring bar at FB is more than LI.
Really ? What kinda question were asked at ll ?
Looks like your plan is to work for a year and move to India with all these RSUs. Perfect choice in that case
Work for 2 years here and then move
They will be taxed at US rates and Cali taxes
Not insane. Facebook is pure garbage
If LI does allow to work remotely from India, and it’s not an empty promise, it’s the right choice if that’s what you want. But you will leave a lot of money on the table by choosing LI over FB.
Nothing wrong with prioritizing something other than TC. Life is short.
Uh yes. With refreshers you are leaving a TON on the table
Just depends on how much you hate your life, I guess. I can't imagine a major tech company I would be less motivated to get up for every morning.
