I have an offer from Microsoft (TC 200k, L62) and expecting an offer from Facebook and Samsung soon. I feel MS offer is low for the band but heard the WLB is much better than Facebook or Samsung. What’s the wlb in Facebook like for the hardware teams in infrastructure? I have heard horror stories about FB WLB but is it true for HW roles as well? Career and financially what would you pick - MS Or FB?
Currently TC 165k, 6.5 YOE

FB can for sure beat that, I had an offer of around 230k TC for E4 w/2.75 YoE. If you can swing high E4 or even E5 expect around 250k+ at least
Edit: I'm HW DV as well
That being said, I think FB is a better choice for most people, particularly if you want better pay/more career growth and don't mind the bay area. Comp growth at MS unfortunately seems lackluster compared to G/FB/Apple
