I have gotten verbal offers from both at the levels mentioned in the headline. No comp numbers yet though. Apple has a company-wide shutdown for Thanksgiving and Facebook said they would come back with comp numbers next week. Now, I've a fairly good idea of the of the kind of comp I maybe offered from both companies (thanks Blind!). The things that I'm a bit worried about are: i) The WLB situation at FB. ii) Relatively less TC at Apple (I would say it's about 50% less) than FB. Also, I've a lot of respect for FB and Google for pushing the technological boundaries (think BigTable, Spanner, Truetime, Cassandra, Katran, QUIC, data center tools and techniques, and so on and so forth). That makes me want to go for Facebook to be able to work in cutting edge technically innovative products. Apple on the other hand, while their products are superb, aren't really pioneering as much in technical innovations as FB. Would someone from these companies be able to help me make a decision for one vs the other?
When "have" has its own meaning you are not supposed to write "I've" ππ What you said about cutting edge technology really depends on the group you'll be landing. If TC is that much difference I'd go for FB. Also I can't agree on the claim that Apple is not pioneering tech innovation. They are solving drastically different problems.
Agreed. : i've an Idea. I have an idea.
It is important to consider if you would rather work for a company that builds products that aid genocide (Facebook) or one that is merely indifferent to it (Apple). YMMV.
What position, org, etc? WLB varies widely even in my org
Apple Pay team.
Ah, I should have guessed from your flair. Canβt speak on that from my own experience unfortunately. Good luck.
Apple would match Facebookβs offer. But the point is really where do you want to go ? ALWAYS talk to both the hiring managers in-person or over phone and estimate how are they. Then pick the company. Facebook is notorious for difficult WLB. But Apple is also no less !
fb doesn't have hms as you don't know your team until after bootcamp
I know my team in this case as I specifically interviewed for that org.
If TC at Apple is 50% less that's a huge difference to take. Try to negotiate at Apple they can go higher if you should FB offer.
This is a huge exaggeration. The only place that is having 50% less como than other places is Microsoft.
Hard to generalize like that about WLB. There are bad teams everywhere and even with best teams, there are crunch periods. If all equal, I would chase TC. You can always revisit the lesser offer and ask them to match your current, higher TC.
Cutting edge innovative products at fb!!! ππππ
Mostly products and tools related to networking and distributed systems.
Lol. Infra at fb is pathetic. Go to Google of you are interested in infra.
Team makes a huge difference
