I’m currently a SWE at PayPal in Singapore. Applied for SWE role in Facebook last month and recruiter reached out to me for Enterprise Engineer role. I’m still going through the interview process but I have read various posts on FB EE. I prefer to develop customer facing apps but the Facebook brand is attractive since it will give me an edge in the future. Can anyone share their experiences working as an EE now? Heard things are changing but I couldn’t find any recent posts on this. Also, how’s the TC like?
EE is SWE working on internal tool. RSU a bit lower but you still do a lot of coding and design.
I accepted an EE position a few weeks ago, and from what I gathered from my talks with the recruiter and the hiring manager, it’s a SWE position but things you will work on are low scale and internal facing. For comp, base and bonus is the same, but RSU is definitely less. I’d say 20% less, but just a guess. I say go for it, interview and see their offer. If it’s a significant bump from PayPal, take it. Not sure if it’s worth the switch if it’s similar tho.
Thanks for sharing! I’m sure there’s a significant bump. The base at FB should be equivalent or more than my current annual TC already!
Which role you accepted in EE ?. RSU fixing has been a work in progress. Career growth is fater in EE as it is growing vertical and EE do have customer facing products (used by vendors and external companies). In Singapore there is no diff between SWE and EE (except little lower rsu ).
The only reason why internally we say they're not the same thing as swes is bc we want to pay ee's ~30% lower (understandably EEs prolly generate much less revenue). They have the same stack as SWEs and can internally switch to swe or apply to swe somewhere else and pretty easily get those positions because.. It's swe work.
How was your interview OP?

EE is not SWE. Equity is much lower for EE.
What is it then? What do ppl do in that role?
