Slight rant: Currently at msft on a great team with extremely good wlb. TC is decent on msft standards. Recently got a new manager that Im not a huge fan of. He’s a decent person but i like my old manager more. Dilemma: Im not a rest & vest person st all. Ill easily work 50/hr weeks by choice when i can get awsy with 15. TC is 300K but i always itch to go elsewhere & get paid more. Ive passed fb e6 loop & G l5 before & those TCs destroy my current one. I worry about instability. I also like that if i want, i can choose to slack here & work on side projects. I have quite a few side projects that generate solid passive income (100k/y) Should i chill & stay here to focus on fast promos (last one in ten months) and side projects OR go elsewhere and make double tc & hopefully still have time for side projects. Been here 2 yrs so originally the plan was to re-evaluate after 4yrs.
Tell us more about side projects? That is the most interesting bit in the post :) ... FB won’t leave you time for your side projects.. team dependent
I've been on four teams, and I have never had time for side projects.
Yes please so curious about the side project
Give it another year and a half or so. Sounds like you’re doing fine and enjoying yourself.
100k/y 😳. Teach me master 🛐
That’s more than my total income and I have 4 years of experience in SWE
Current TC/GTFO?
300k, its in the post…
Hate such posts! Op is in dilemma and is asking for suggestion. If you want to know just the numbers, search for any Microsoft and level, you will get tons of posts with TC or just search in GD or levels.fyi! Please be considerate and when someone is raising a sincere concern, the least we can do is avoid such TC/GTFO comments.
What’s your MSFT level? The higher you go the longer promo takes. I would recommend the FB E6 imho
How were your FB/G interviews?
Sounds like you will be more happy at facebook
There is no wlb at fb
I would stay, you make great money already. WLB has real value.
Agreed, the grass is always greener until you move there
G easily have the same wlb, if not better.
Go to Google where you can have more money and good WLB to continue doing your side projects.
This, FB is not a long term company people stay at unless they're very motivated to.
