#offer Update: Heading to FB because of career growth in the future. Thank you all for the advice. It was super helpful! ---------------- Hi blinders, I am helping a friend to make a post comparing 2 offers he got. Apple ict3 SDE: TC: 200K+bonus+Refresh Base: 150K Stock:200K Sign-on: 50K (used a competing offer to negotiate to this number ) FB E4 SDE: just got a verbal offer today, don't have the number yet. What do you think the TC could get to finally by negotiation? He worked for a startup in SF which moving very fast, so the WLB is not that good. At first, he wanted to go to Apple as the interview experience with the whole team went very well and WLB seems good at Apple. FB is general hire, the team is not confirmed. Will it be easy to find a good team with interesting projects and WLB through the onboarding Bootcamp? It is the biggest concern for him. However, FB seems to have a better compensation and career path. Q1: Which company would you choose? Why? Q2: How is the experience of choosing team by Bootcamp at FB? Q3: How does the career path look like to get to next level at both company? YOE: 1 TC: 150K Thank you so much for advice :)
Your Apple tc is not 250
Wlb sucks at both places and really depends on team. About choosing company, I really wonder, how people working at fb be motivated to work there, with all the negative news in media.
What’s the team at Apple?
If you haven't done team matching at fb yet, it is difficult to tell if the fb position is good or not.
Doesnt team match happen only at the bootcamp?
This position is the general hire. So the team match will happen through the 6-8 weeks Bootcamp. But not sure how easy to find a good team at the bootcamp.
Which team at Apple?
Let me tell you honest truth FB hands down. Especially with your YOE. You'll learn a lot. FB is tier-1 company and apple is meh kinda tier-1 end or top tier-2. (Again your mileage depends on the team that you join in Apple. There are handful teams at Apple which are good but internal mobility at Apple is shit)
What’s salesforce tier?
Tier-3 I guess lol but we've got the best wlb in the industry.. I'm moving very soon tho :)
I’ve worked at both. What team is it at Apple? That’s important to the decision. Feel free to PM
Facebook for sure
Fb e4 will easily beat Apple offer, I got a better base/rsu but no sign on and I had no competing offer. Maybe ask for like 160/300/50?
Thank you for the reply. Which company would you choose then?
I never interviewed with Apple, but I would still take fb because I heard it’s top tier in terms of career growth. I am a bit worried about the wlb tbh but I am still pretty young without much responsibilities so I should survive. It depends on your friend, id assume Apple would have better wlb but promotions could be slower
