Which of the four do you think would be the best for career growth overall? With faster growth/promo speed (possibility of faster promotion if you try), good mobility and chances to learn. Ignoring WLB and TC. Looking for a place to grow and promo/climb the ladder quick (made a career switch back as swe after working outside of tech for few years, so i feel a bit behind), can sacrifice some wlb for the next 2-3 years (currently interviewing with G/FB/Apple, will post a separate thread later). I am aware of the general idea, that: G and MS: known for good wlb at the cost of slower growth/promo speed FB: opposite of the above Apple: no idea, curious about this (totally org dependent?) but wanted to know how they would rank/stand against each other in general. I'm thinking it's FB > Apple > G == MS (really have no idea about Apple but I would think it's faster than G/MS overall), but if you have any inputs based on your experience or knowledge then that would be great! YOE: 2 TC: 130 CAD #google #facebook #apple #microsoft #career #growth
Definitely FB. It's the biggest selling point vs other FAANG (in addition to TC)
Worked at FB. Agree.
promo tc is shit regardless of company. but maybe the velocity at fb makes up for it
U don’t even bring Amazon into the conversation. Love it 😅
Ahh sorry it wasn't intentional :( just that I'm interviewing with the other three lol! But I would imagine Amazon is also good for growth overall, with faster growth speed at the cost of some wlb, similar to FB.
Amazon growth greater than apple and msft but lesser than FB and G, it takes a lot of politics and subservience to go from l5 to l6
lmao who would seriously vote for a different company than fb
Hmm interesting, I did know that FB is fast paced and is one of the best places for faster career growth, but thought Apple would also be comparable to a degree (but again, have no idea how it's like there). Thanks for all the inputs so far!
It's Facebook, followed by Facebook, followed by Facebook. For career growth none of them are even close.
Facebook, because either you get promoted or you get fired
There must be an upper limit here right? Can't fire everyone for not being a VP
They have enough candidates like OP to afford full scale hunger games
Facebook > Google > Apple > Microsoft
FB - the only place where u join out of school and with promotions every year or 2 years , become VP in 10 years ..,lol- but it also involves boot licking n not everyone has appetite for that !! .. but hey things some people do for money
Apple is full of grey haired dudes. The plumbing is jammed. You’ll never move up here.
Isn't it same for G?
Ahh I see, not exactly what I was expecting tho lol are you at Apple now?
