Hi- I am negotiating my salary at a startup and want to use the Facebook role I am also interviewing for as leverage for my base pay. It would be an L8 in the communications organization. I prefer to work for the startup but want to make clear to them what I am giving up financially by doing so. If you know what an L8 base is within the communications or marketing organization is that would be helpful. Thanks.
I’m surprised an L8 would be asking this on blind
Why? I got recruited blindly, was out of left field.
Very true. Doesn’t sound like a question from people at that level of caliber...
IC8 is quite high... would be surprised if start up matches
Yeah I just want to give a range for what I would get if i went FAANG
Random q: is this icp role by any chance?
Yeah IC8 sorry
Just ask zuck, he might be in your interview loop
His direct reports were on my loop before I opted out
Same but then I decided to go where my heart was and I got a job at box. Enterprise Cloud storage is really exciting we have an L10 position open if you want referral
You should ask for equity instead of base at this level.
Can’t pay a mortgage w/ equity
Actually you can
Get an offer first and use that as leverage.
Tbh don’t think many people will be able to help you here at all, particularly for a marketing L8 role. Gl tho!
L8 reports to Nick Clegg. TC should be $1m.
A startup would never match a big company director pay; or even come close. You join the start up for the learning experience, fun, and long shot at your equity becoming real.
Is that different from an L8 in a tech org at FB?
Yeah I think it pays less
