Got verbal offer confirmation for E4 (down leveled from E5) Facebook London as Backend SWE. I am holding another offer from well-renowned mid sized profitable Indian startup planning to go IPO in US stock market very soon. Due to my current personal life requirements, I would prefer decent work life balance . From career point of view, I would definitely prefer better work. Following are my questions: 1. What are the chances of getting good work at Facebook London? By good work I mean designing, developing and maintaining backend features in and around distributed systems with big scale. I am confident enough that the work is good at the startup. 2. I will be moving with my spouse. Is standard E4 salary decent enough for two persons (assuming my spouse might not work at least in initial months in London) compared to what the startup has offered in India? 3. What are the teams at FB London with too much stress and have worst work life balance? 4. What are the numbers I can expect from FB? Having the other offer will help in negotiation? Current TC: 53 LPA (lakhs per annum) Pre-IPO startup offer: ~80 LPA (Base + JB + RSUs) Facebook Offer: Yet to get numbers YOE: 5 Update : FB offer : 83k GBP+ 30k GBP sign on + 170k USD/4 + ~20k GBP relocation #swe #facebook #london
Hi @Op, if you don't mind. Please tell startup name
DM?
Sure np
Expect base in 80s stock around 150k. If you have other offer, then they might push it. Else unlikely
Got it. Thanks
Did you interview for infra? E4 infra headcount was closed for this year few months back afaik. 1. Yea there are infra teams in London which might have that work. But again this will be decided during bootcamp only. 2. Yea. Of course it is decent. But incomparable to startup offer. Due to diff. COL and startup RSUs are still paper money. If your wife is in tech, you can both have a good life in london. 3. No clue 4. Base 80 low 80s, stock range 150-250k USD. Not sure if FB will factor private Indian startup during negotiations.
Got it. Thanks much for the details.
Yes I interviewed for infra.
Congrats 💐 I don't think you will get any monetary benefits, but you can look at other factors. I would also like to know more about teams. DM me if you get more details on it. When r u going join? 2022?
Thanks much. Date is not yet fixed but yes I would prefer to have it in early 2022.
DM me if you decide to accept the offer and decide to join Jan/Feb 2022.
