FB vs Goog

Lucky to have cleared intvws at both Google and Facebook. Fb: e5 205/700/15%/85k Goog: HC cleared for L4, had follow up design for L5. They didn't go so well so expecting L4 offer. How close will Google come to match FB e5 comp? My main worry is whether I would be able meet e5 expectations consistently. YOE: 6, Sde2 in AWS

Amazon fufgv OP Feb 27, 2020

I can save u the DM, both were exactly as described in blind and elsewhere

Amazon zamona Feb 27, 2020

Congrats on the offers. Any tips on the interviews preparation?

Amazon swng01 Feb 27, 2020

Don’t over think. Remember leaders are right a lot ?

Google h1ber Feb 27, 2020

Cruise Automation faagn Feb 27, 2020

How many years to E6 did you take

Amazon fufgv OP Feb 27, 2020

What were some of the main hiccups along the way?

Google larsonmars Feb 27, 2020

Do you want to move at a more leisurely pace with good wlb or work 12 hours a day with a better pay and more promos?

Google BS(ss Feb 27, 2020

Fb, g L4 to L5 takes at least another 2 years

Congrats op. You should go to FB if you can put in some extra hours. Btw, how did you get the top of band E5 offer from FB with only G L4 HC clearance and you are only L5 at AMZN? I think even G L5 offer can't beat it. Normally you would get a standard offer if coming as Amazon L5.

Microsoft New2MSFT Feb 27, 2020

Was going to ask something similar. I don’t see such offers on levels.fyi, but few. This seems to be the top of the band.

Cruise Automation C++.. Feb 27, 2020

Yeah, that package is only for top candidates with strong background/special skills/competing offers/etc. These things don't seem apply to op. Op must be a great negotiator so pls share your experience :)

Strong FB offer. Ask for 100k sign on.

Amazon wowwwwwww Feb 27, 2020

TC is around 400 for fb?

Facebook solidmeh Feb 27, 2020

Wow. Nicely done for just 6yoe! Lots of people with 10+ don’t get the offers you do. Go to FB for better refreshers even if google comes close. The wlb is really overrated.

Microsoft teph Feb 27, 2020

This .. mess up your WLB for those extra few $’s.

Facebook solidmeh Feb 27, 2020

By overrated I mean that it is very team and person dependent. If you want the GEs at FB, sure you may be working harder than someone aiming for an EE at google. Your rewards will be quite different though.
