I'm L4 SWE, mostly coasting but some time roll coasting for last 2 y 8 months @ Google. Current TC 320k with stock inflation. Recently finalized my interview with Meta (Facebook rebrand). I started the interview process when it was Facebook. I've negotiated the L5 offer for 510k. I've kept insisting on high numbers as I've lost my interest after getting to know more about what it's currently going on in Facebook. It also includes other risk factors. Is Meta so desperate to hire engineers or how common is it to get such high offers for L5? Please, no trolling. I've full respect for Facebook and I'm inspired by their products. I just wanted to know your opinion.
Google is desperate too isn’t it
The TC doesn't seem to reflect that :/
Google is countering ridiculous numbers when people try to leave.
What risk factors
I think in this market everyone is desperate and they will pay you top $ especially if you come from google or other FAANG. How did you get E5? Did you kill it ok the system design?
I had a concern for WLB and chose MSFT instead
what was the TC difference?
I live in LCOL, base difference was around 20K but sign on for MSFT was greater.
What do you mean by coasting?
:humblebrag:
It’s desperate. But I think all tech companies are entering panic mode. Good time to shop around if you are in a FAANG.
Seems like an average E5 offer if you included sign on. I got 505k without negotiation at 3 yoe. The highest E5 offer I’ve seen is probably 214 base, 1m rsu and 100k sign on.
Did you join FB e5 at 3 YOE ?
Yeah about to
That’s standard offer bro. I got 520K at FB E5 (including 100K sign on here) Yoe : 3.5
Can you list the offer breakdown?
214/700/15% + 100 sign on
What's the offer breakdown and location Op? I got a $510K offer from Pinterest and canceled my fb onsite because it was higher than the fb e5 "Max offer" so I thought fb couldn't compete
lookie pinterest making it rain
What is the pinterest offer breakdown? I'm sitting here L5 $410k, 210k salary + 200k*4 stock
