  • Take FB, if you don't like you can always interview at G for L5 in an year or two.
    Never ever take a down levelled offer.

    Depends on priorities and work style.

    Google is a lot easier than FB but FB is a lot more cutting edge, interesting and exciting work.

    Google if you want to rest and vest, maybe work on a startup on the side.

    Facebook if you enjoy engineering as an art.

    Dropbox seems like a company struggling to stay relevant tho

      Oh come on, “engineering as an art”? FB perf system literally encourages to hack shit together for quick impact to hold for 1-2 years, until you move on and some poor chaps take over the tech debt. Which is present a bit at G, but way less prominent.

      You can definitely have faster career and promo at FB, though. Which, again, is not necessarily the same as becoming a better engineer.

  • FB E5. Google won't be able to beat the comp at L4, both short term and long term, despite their front loaded equity vesting. Growth wise FB will be better too.

    If you have to go back in career 3 years atleast take the lowball offer from G. Else you know the choice
