Have an offer from FB as an IC PM. Also interviewing with Amazon for L7 Sr Manager role managing a team. Initial comp aside, what are the pros and cons of these two companies? Specifically... 1) Which one is faster in terms of getting promoted/growing career? 2) Which one ends up with better TC over time (refreshers, raises)? 3) WLB? I hear it's pretty tough with both companies. 4) Obviously FB has better food/perks etc. Other pros and cons?
FB L6 is slightly lower than Amazon L7 in terms of scope. TC - nothing beats FB. WLB for L7 Sr Mgr is much better than L6 IC of Facebook. Growth interns of role and scope is better at Amazon but not much pay increase, unlike FB
Pretty sure Amazon L7 Sr.Mgr will beat L6 IC PM TC. I chose L7 at A over M2 at FB for similar TC and higher scope. The TC was close when AMZN was at 1800. Do the math 🤔
^ So... It's a wash because Amazon won't give refreshers? And you have backloaded equity so you're stuck for 4 years?
What kind of sr manager? Are you managing PMs?
YOE?
OP, please share offers ?
Facebook means that you sell your soul to misuse people’s information
As an L7, I would say L7 is very team dependent. What's the team?
What is TOC at both levels
TC or GTFO
We need a way to make this as default comment. Hellooo! Any blind moderator here???
Phuck Amazon!
I've been in both. Take L7 at Amazon. The scope is much better.
Agree, Amazon sucks for grunts but for higher levels it’s good. FB will be high pressure and lower scope no matter what.
What would be an l7 pm scope? L6 pm in fb has significant scope
