Hi, I am E5 at FB, will be 1 year in March. Looking to move out and have on site at two sigma. What is the pay I should expect? TC: 400k, YOE 10
What level are you interviewing for?
Don't know
People are going to spam this post left, right and center, and you’d never get any meaningful answer for 2S and Jane street. Citadel maybe.. I did some research about last year, here is what I come to know: Pay is same as FB/G for the levels, but you need to consider there’s no stock appreciation, only plain cash. Tech talent is so so.. I’d jump ship only there’s no promo in the horizon or if I’m dealing with a shitty manager/team. Oh btw.. those numbers are SWE, if you’re anything other than that, Ops, etc forgot about it.. they still have to come to terms to respect ops folk as SWEs.
I am looking for good wlb. I am fine if stock doesn't appreciate. If they pay me at Google l5 range, like 450k, I will jump, provided wlb is <40 hrs per week.
You’d easily get google pay. Wlb idk tbh Also, I think anyone rarely makes more than 400 at FB/G L5. Your TC is really in the north unless you put in stock appreciation.
Is the main reason to quit FB , work life balance ? If yes - can you please elloborate what makes work life balance bad ? Reason for the request - trying to make up a decision between FB and google
I think it really depends on team and also your preferences/biases. If you want to work hard, grow and ok with fast paced work with mediocre code base, FB is good for you. I can't slog day in and day out. So, I am moving out.
Does fast pace means 10 to 12 hour workdays and work on weekends?
Ask the recruiter what the ballpark pay is. Should be able to exceed your current tc
450-480k
Op u in ny or mp?
Currently in Seattle. Interviewing for NYC
550K
