FB E5 or Amazon L6? Offer with details, please help.
Learned a lot from here, my time to contribute back. PhD + 5 YOE, @ G. FB E5: 200 + 600/4 +100 Amazon L6: 180 + {210, 160} + 240 share Location: {NY, CA} Why FB? * yearly refresh * better benefits overall, 401k match, vacation, medical care, free food, etc. * nicer office :) Why Amazon? * very cool HM & team, project have lots of potential * I am under the impression Amazon L6 is viewed better than FB E5? levels.fyi shows slightly higher. Why not Amazon? * L6 -> Principle is extremely hard, so stale TC for a long long time. * stock unlikely to grow crazy like before. Am I correct? What would you choose? Update: FB.

Keep interviewing
You're doing some weird things with the numbers. Assuming no stock growth, Facebook TC over 4 years is 1.62m (30k annual bonus @ 15%). Amazon TC over that period is 1.55m (no annual bonus by default, afaik). As you mentioned, Facebook also has annual refreshers, and better overall benefits. That said, the difference is small enough that you should probably decide based on how much you like the team and other QoL factors (commute, food, WLB, etc).
Thanks for the correction! Indeed my statement is wrong. FB beat Amazon by a bit. Amazon calculate 15% stock growth per year, to make year 2&3 same TC as year 1&2. So when I perform my calculation, I assumed year 1 TC * 4.
Prep for e5 any suggestion? I am going for e5 in 1 month.
Probably should choose based on team since the difference is basically minimal.
agree. thanks.
