Choosing FB over Google, big mistake?

Got PM offers from both, I think the team I got at fb is a bit more interesting, my Google first choice didn't work out. FB commute is much better... Will I regret going to FB? On paper, having Google on my PM resume seems more golden than FB. Also, I am more of a data and enterprise SW PM, so Google has more opportunities than fb I think... My gut wants to choose FB but the brain tells me Google... Smart insights anyone?

Could you share the details of both offers? Go with whoever’s paying more. How much time are both commutes? If Facebook’s is that much shorter, I personally would probably go with them

Didn't get Google $ yet. I think it will be higher but I assume FB will match. I think small difference like 20k shouldn't be the reason to choose. That is not what counts in the long run.

Fb is 15m, Google more like 35m to 45m depends on traffic.

Go with your gut and you won’t regret it

What’s your logic? They’re growing revenue >40% yoy @ $40B. Doesn’t seem dying to me.

It is definitely showing signs of weakness, stock performance compared to other FANG stocks has been the weakest in the last one year: https://www.thestreet.com/amp/story/14508809/1/facebook-user-trends-news-feed-changes.html

Both are solid

Go with ever whichever pays more. Compensation is a measure of how much a company values your time. Work for however values your time more

I have worked at both. Currently at FB and much happier.
