fb Menlo park vs msft Seattle? These are the initial offers. fb 155 base 260 stocks msft 129 base 40k stocks 15 joining I am looking for roles in Seattle. I am inclined to join fb but my recruiter is pushing for Menlo park. I will be going through bootcamp. How does team matching happen in fb? Does fb hires location specific? Also is it possible to negotiate for location? Does msft matches the offer? Current msft offer is less than my current base. Appreciate your inputs. Yoe 5.5 with 3 yrs of us exp #facebook #microsoft
Go to FB. If you want to be in Seattle, transfer in a year. The refreshers and bonus will greatly outweigh MSFT comp.
Even if you had a bad offer from Facebook, I’d pick it over Microsoft. It has the following advantages: 1. Better brand pedigree 2. Better colleagues on an average 3. Faster growth 4. Wayyyyyy better refreshers compared to Microsoft The only cons are WLB and PIP culture - but then, survive two years at Facebook E4 and you can probably go to Microsoft at L63/64 instead.
155k + 15k bonus + 65k stock = 235K. Msft L64 gets this number. No brained for FB
Thanks for the inputs...
I am surprised you are struggling here. Fb. No brainer.
