Currently at MSFT: L61 TC: ~240k YOE: 2 FB offer: L4 Base: 160k (+10% target bonus) Equity: 350k over 4 Signing: 30k TC excl signing: ~260k Not sure if this is worth it honestly. Pretty lateral move, minor bump in TC. I think FB benefits aren't as good (thinking of 401k and ESPP), and WLB might be worse. Thoughts?
I wouldn’t switch for a 20K bump.
This. Not worth leaving M$ for that small of a TC bump. WLB is no joke at FB. I’ve had 2 friends there that bailed and went to GOOG recently.
Tim apple1 - Can you give more details on work life balance at Facebook ? Also , are we talking about MPK? Did they go back to google within a year ? , and got back to their old comp and level ?
Is your current TC inclusive of stock growth? That’s really good TC for yoe. How did you get fb interview? I thought they aren’t hiring <5 YOE?
Includes stock growth, yes. They reached out to me for a specialist position (not generalist swe).
Do not take the offer, regardless of the tc increase. Product specialist at Facebook has a really low glass ceiling. Most of them cannot promote to level 5
FB refreshers are way better, benefits are slightly better along with perks like free food. Think about $6 k vesting over 5 years at Microsoft vs $80k vesting over 4 years at FB. FB has a better brand and faster growth but worse wlb and cut-throat PIP culture. Update: one more point is that if you get promoted to E5 at FB (~3 years)?then you can get a principal position at Microsoft (you will need 6+ years to get there) If this offer is in Seattle then I would say go for it.
Are you new grad at msft ?
Why is your L61 TC so high?
Refreshers in FB are great vs. ~0 on your level in MS. How much longer your TC in MS will last? 2 more years? And then it will drop to half?
Trajectory at FB is much higher and road to promo is much quicker
How about an IC to become a manager or lead ? How are the chances in fb for this
Yeah. Refresher is a big part
