I have an offer from Microsoft at L64 and Facebook at level E4 . Take home for microsoft : 170k base , 50 K bonus and 125 k shares Take home for Facebook : 167k base , 50k bonus and 300 k shares Which company should I choose ? Any valuable insights would be really helpful
Microsoft doesn’t do stock refreshes like facebook does, also its a TC difference of over 40k. I’d say Facebook
Why is this a question
Because of level difference
It will be easy to move from Facebook to Microsoft if you don’t like it, but a bit hard the other way around.
Ohhh ok
64 can transfer to FB at E5 and sometimes E6. Can you negotiate with FB to bump you to E5? If you felt like you can easily get rehired at FB in two years - then I’d go with MSFT due to the level. If you don’t think you can easily get rehired at FB - then I agree with the above post that it’ll be easier for you to transfer to MSFT from FB and get a promo out of it in two years vs. the other way around.
What is your priority OP , TC or career level ?
That's less than my 63 offer. Edit: my point being, I'd negotiate. my offer changed a lot during negotiations.

FB E4 is definitely not a level drop from L64. Why do you think so?
Because levels.fyi says 64 is equal to E5 in facebook
Levels.fyi is wrong in their FB/MS level mapping. If you look just at comp, then E4 is definitely better than L64. If you are not looking at comp, then what instead are you comparing?
If they are strong, they can get to e5 pretty quickly at fb
Are you not at MS already?
Exactly!
