Hi! I have about 11 years of experience with 5 in product mgmt with 3 years of PM at Amazon. Just got an offer from Facebook and wanted to get pointers on TC and leveling guidelines. #tc #product #facebook #facebookcomp #tc
Post details so people can give feedback
They said IC4 to start with and I am negotiating for late IC5 based on my experience
Thanks you so much! With respect to total comp, I said 380-390 K but now feel that I low balled myself 😒

You didn't lowball yourself. You won't get much better as the economy starts to slow down and you may even lose your job. Go work in retail or something where you work like a dog for less than 1/10th that. You'll quickly see how you did quite well.
Is this for Seattle or Menlo Park?
Wow IC4 is extremely low for someone with 11yoe. Graduates of the RPM program are IC4, so you’ll effectively be on the same level as 22-23 yr olds
Hahaha...thanks for that info! Do you suggest me pushing for IC6 then? And what do you think of compensation?
Lol, if they leveled you at L4 you will get L5 at best. Even that won't be a breeze.
This is for the MP office
Your recruiter should be telling you the range for each level. Did you really get an offer or you suspect you’ll get an offer?
You cannot switch levels from IC4 to IC6 without going through the interviews again which recruiter and others on hiring committee may completely decline. So if you push too much, you may lose the offer. I would say, get in and then do well and get promoted quickly based on performance.
Gotcha, how quick or fast are promos?
Quickest I have seen is in 2 halves (i.e. 1 year), but most normal promos take around 2 yrs.
What’s your level? The recruiter should tell you your level
