Changing roles from SWE at Microsoft to Enterprise engineer at Facebook
I'm currently a software engineer and I'm planning to apply for the enterprise engineer role at Facebook. 1. What work do the enterprise engineers do? Do they own the internal tools and infrastructure or do they do something else? 2. Do enterprise engineer at Facebook code as much as SWE? 3. Will it be a bad move to become an enterprise engineer? Will this move make it difficult for me to get software engineer roles in case I plan to switch later? 4. Can Enterprise engineers switch to SWE roles within Facebook easily if they are performing well in their current role?
From the sounds of it, it looks like you'll be sent to onsite deployments or work on a lot of one-off features. Not my cup of tea. Good luck :)
I think EE need to re-interview to become SWE. Also tc is lower afaik
Don’t.
It’s basically an IT support role, think about how difficult it is for someone from IT to transition into SDE in Microsoft. Not easy.
Is there anyone who became Enterprise engineer at Facebook and was a software engineer earlier. How was your experience? Do you think you took the right step?
I’m an EE at Facebook. Enterprise engineers get less TC than SWE. RSUs are significantly less. Why not apply for SWE?
I was approached for the EE role and I thought it would be very similar to SWE role but for internal tools and websites. But after reading more about this role on Blind, I'm not sure if becoming an EE would be a good career choice for me. And I would be happy to work here even with lower TC if this move would be good for my career growth.
@Gate Do EE write code for internal tools and internal websites or something else?
Wtf is enterprise engineer? Stay away from the soulless enterprise work
