Seems like down leveling ?

I seriously hope you dont take this shitty offer

Google iluvjanest Nov 23, 2019

Is this a joke? Usually it would be the other way around lol Also I thought even fb e4 with 2 yoe after graduation can get Google L4

I wish it was, I really like the team and heard good things about wlb at google, but it seems like I will have to reject that offer 😔

Google iluvjanest Nov 23, 2019

Just reject. You can get e6 in 2 more years at fb i guess. And then you can try Google again for L5 or L6. Get competing offers this time. If you get L5 with competing it can still go up to almost 400k (so it wont be too much of a downgrade from your ~500k fb e6 tc). Compare that scenario with joining Google L4 now. You can get promoted to L5 in 2-3 years. Then you pay would just be around 320k.

Why would you leave $100K on the table and leave for a lower level?

Facebook fLHH26 OP Nov 23, 2019

I believe it’s not all about money, but on the other hand that’s a vary low offer 😔

L5 with 2yoe? Wow

Facebook fLHH26 OP Nov 23, 2019

E5 with 2 yoe? or 2 years at E5?

That just means FB leveling is messed up

Google EIFY Nov 23, 2019

Or Google leveling is messed up

No reason to argue, it’s all messed up

Few here understand there are times where you need a move even if it hits your TC. Google has an amazing WLB and great people to work with. Source: I switched from FB a few years back.

I kept in touch with the recruiter, and when I was ready to make a move I said I don’t have time to prep for a loop interview, so they suggested if I will except the level of the original offer we can skip the loop interview and just go to team selection and HC.... I could (and still can) take the loop and get re-evaluated for new level and comp... probably this is what I should do, an also get more offers
