Can anyone FB person share insights on Timeline infra team and Push Notifications team at FB. Got an offer recently and evaluating if it is worth it to pursue either of the teams.
Notifications team sounded cool but donโt know what tech stack they use or what projects they are working on.
TC: 350k
New TC: 400k

I strongly recommend coming in unallocated. Right now each unallocated bootcamper is getting reach outs from 50+ teams!! (Hitting pipeline is a bit dry pushing the demand for candidates far higher than supply)
If you are optimising for growth, chances are that a well established team will be slower, as you have less room to have big impact. This is nuanced of course, as teams may some times reinvent themselves, and the new change in direction may offer good opportunities.
Likely the best place for growth right now is FRL pillar, since we have so much to build there and it has become the main company focus.
I was more curious in terms of push notifications team given they seemed interesting but absolutely have no volume what their projects are like. So wanted to learn. Please share any insights.
As for next step, I will get confirmation from recruiter and come in as bootcamper :)
