Cleared HC for both Google and Facebook for M1 position. Team match with G was done before interview Don't have numbers yet, expect them next week. Not sure which I should choose (I think offers will be similar) Google: Good WLB, local to Seattle, established team. However it's a technology stack that I'm unfamiliar with Facebook: Worried about PIP, Remote team(my manager is remote), New team, I have to build it, technology is something that I'm familiar with and did it before What does collective brain think? YOE: 18 Current TC: $250k New TC FB: $505k (211k base, 1M stock, 25k signing) New TC GooG: $424 (200k base, 750k stock) Location: Seattle Updated TC
How did you manage to crack from Nordstrom?
Congrats, and you are going to double your TC for sure. If you value wlb, join Google. If you value fast growth, join FB.
So both teams you are taking some amount of risk. What's is your life commitments? Do you have significant other, kids, dog etc that you want to spend more time with, where good WLB will be useful. May be Google's WLB could also give you the room to grow your skills. The team could teach you the technology. They are hiring you for your management chops right? This is my experience: When I moved teams, the new team was full of senior engineers, decades in experience. So I felt stressed in the beginning not being able to match them at technical level. But then noticed my own value, when I worked to diffuse inter-team issues; shield the team from noise; promoted the teams work to everyone who would listen; increased team size etc. Along the way through one-on-one meetings with team members, code reviews, project reviews, dealing with outages, learnt the tech stack. My recent 180° feedback have been all positive both from my team and peers. Team specifically said I have the technical knowledge to lead the team as well as doing my managerial duties. 🥰
This at Bloomberg/Facebook/Google?
Thanks! That's very reassuring! I love your story!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! Please choose G and do a favor to your mental health.
Choose Google and live your life with low stress
Google and move to FB as director after
Who is taking google L6 as FB direc?
The notion that you will be PIP’d for no reason at fb is simply a myth. You may have to work a little bit harder but Facebook is a phenomenal place to work
Thanks!
They’ll push you into an IC role and then PIP you
I would say you can learn a lot at Google. Steadily grow your team and headcount. Build a reputation, solid skills both people and technically that can then leveraged at the next job with the G brand. At Facebook since there is a constant pressure to deliver and show results, it doesn't leave you the time to grow. Politics also may hamper your team charter and growth at fb.
