Dropbox IC2 vs Facebook E4

Feb 25, 2021 7 Comments

I was fortunate to receive two excellent offers and I'm having trouble weighing the pros and cons. Both companies have a lot going for them.

TC for both is about the same ~250k. I can probably get a bit more from FB but I'm not trying to base my decision based on TC alone. Many other things to consider.

Please share your thoughts regarding the offer, wlb, career opportunities, working from home, etc.

Current TC 160k

    I would recommend dbx if you want good tc, wlb and friendly peers. I recently joined here from Amazon and life is pretty chill .

      Yeah joined from Msft 5-6 months ago !! Rejected FB Amzn and Lyft offers for Dbx and could not have been happier. Dbx had the highest offer only behind FB by 10k

      IC3 - TC: 395k (+40k joining)

    I was in same situation and selected Dropbox (E5 vs IC3) and really happy about decision.

    Dropbox culture is great and amazing pay with great wlb doesn’t hurt. I have people joining from Google n Facebook in my team.

    The only bad thing I can point out is unclear stock price future but with stocks buyback hopefully we will do better.

    Pay wise I think both FB and DBX are one of the top paying companies so you cannot go wrong. DBX has limited domain so not mang choices to switch team vs FB has variety of products. But DBX culture n wlb is what makes me happy πŸ˜€
