I’m kinda tilted that my e5 offer had 400k RSU and 35k sign on...only higher number was base is 200k and e5 bonus is 15% I’d take FB (I recently took FB) I think it has the best growth trajectory of the 3

Yea dude I basically had THE perfect interview at FB. I answered everything 100% above and beyond in both coding and design. They almost considered me E5. Also I had Snap offer. So I used negotiations + high offers to play the game.

Can people tell me why FB > Snap? The polls seem to indicate this..I'm a little concerned about FB wlb..

Uber ubzz Feb 11, 2020

What is an Uber 2? ... Leveling starts at 3...

Ah. Call it an L4 cause otherwise it sounds like you got super under leveled

Can you share how long you prepared and what to watch out for? LC medium/hard?

Amazon Katon🙏🔥 OP Feb 11, 2020

Dude I became a complete animal. I approached it like some Go to War type of shit. I'm a huge UFC fan so I incorporated that discipline into this.

EA bfsdfs Feb 11, 2020

Can you be more specific? 😹 Is 350 LC enough?

NIO Treks Feb 11, 2020

If Uber can match FB offer then take Uber else FB. Uber stock will shoot up once they are profitable (end of 2020 expected).

Why are you concerned about the FB WLB ?

Amazon Katon🙏🔥 OP Feb 11, 2020

I've been reading bad stories :(

Dell LUHV04 Feb 11, 2020

Got it Did you get bad stories from any personal contacts at Facebook ? Or Is it all bad stories from online forums like blind ?

Microsoft lyQG75 Feb 11, 2020

Snap also has a performance bonus. Ask your recruiter about it.

Bloomberg ABACUS<GO> Feb 11, 2020

Is Snap WLB better than Facebook's? Thought it was similarly bad at both companies

Amazon Katon🙏🔥 OP Feb 13, 2020

I suppose only one way to find out.

Amazon Katon🙏🔥 OP Feb 12, 2020

Facebook went up to 335K TC

Dell LUHV04 Feb 12, 2020

Mean you give specific talk track that you used at Facebook ? What component of the offer did Facebook increase ? Did you share the competing offer letter or simply competing offer details ? Thanks , Fellow UFC Fan

Amazon Katon🙏🔥 OP Feb 12, 2020

I basically aced the interview haha. Also I had other offers. At this point you are at a position of power. You can ask for what you want. Be open with the recruiter. Ask your self what would McGregor do? What would Khabib do? Pick the middle route which is not as extreme 😁😂😂

Capital One zHDJ81 Feb 12, 2020

Can you share on how you prepared system design?

Amazon Katon🙏🔥 OP Feb 13, 2020

I read up on Grokking. Also my dad was the principal architect at prime Yahoo! a decade ago. He has legit distributed systems knowledge so I just asked him. Currently he is L6 vying for L7 at Google.
