How does Ebay comp compare to FAANG? Recruiter reached out from Ebay and I’m trying to factor if I should go through all the rounds of interviews with Ebay or just focus on FAANG. (Ultimate goal is to max TC and reach $750k-$1M as fast as possible so I can be FIRE abroad.)
What do you mean by "FIRE abroad" ?
Financially Independent, Retire Early
750k-1M can FIRE? Where?
South America?
Asia
eBay is competitive. I have been at both Google and eBay and found the pay fairly similar. Google's probably a bit higher for the same level on average, but the ranges overlap substantially. The chart on levels.fyi does a good job equating between eBay and Google on levels in terms of scope/comp.
Awesome! Didn’t realize levels.fyi had Ebay data. Thanks! — Do you have any recommendations on which office to go to max comp or career prospects? Recruiter mentioned that there are openings at San Jose and San Fran
San Jose is the HQ, so there's more opportunity there. How great a difference depends heavily on specific roles, teams, and your level. If you're looking at something like an MTS2 role then that's doable just about anyway. If you're looking for director openings then you'll need to and a team that has a need there, and you'll want to pick something you believe you can make successful if you want to grow beyond that. I was Sr. MTS in a remote office, and obtaining an offer at Principal MTS level was more than just growth as an engineer. It required actively finding a group with a need and willing to carve out a space for me.
I’m sure it is close!
Based on what info? :)
Worked for eBay and know some ‘real’ google comps. Google is higher in most cases but it’s close.. you might wanna think about other perks/benefits, career growth and figure out.
When you reach $1 mill you will realize how little it is. Passed that number long time ago and nowhere near ready to retire.
He wants to FIRE abroad.
He/she thinks they want to FIRE abroad. Once they reach 1 mill it starts to look like a small number. Human greed is unassailable.
They are no where close. Not sure why people are saying this
750k-1m savings with house bought. As soon as possible but realistically what’s the range for you e.g. 5-15 years?
Ebay comp is not comparable with FAANG
Thanks for your reply! What do you think I could get, like roughly 70% of FAANG TC?
That's not entirely true. If course you can't compare Netflix with others, but eBay is competitive and comparable to FAAG.
