Facebook or Fox?

I got two offers FB- 120 base Fox Corporation- 135K base both will have a TC thats still under negotiation. im coming from amazon with a very shitty base salary. I am concerned about Fox because even though its not Fox News, it still has a stigma. I am not a part of a political party. Which one should I take?

I can’t stay at amazon anymore with my base. Can’t even live off of it :/

The stigma against FB is about as bad. I would go with Fox just because it's almost 10% better, are there other parts to TC?

Amazon tallyboy OP Nov 29, 2019

It’s equity and bonus. FB will have equity, but I learned my lesson at amazon not to rely any salary based off of that. Fox won’t have equity, just bonuses.

Hmmm, at the end if the day you have to make a choice between staying in FAANG and having a more consistent resume, or taking a 10% raise. IMO FAANG is overrated.

If you are in tech roles, FB is no brainer.

Just to clarify I’m in a nontech role :)

Care to say? Are you a janitor? Are you a front desk security guard?

I’m gonna say these offers are fake news.

Amazon tallyboy OP Nov 29, 2019

Nope not fake. Why would you say that?

Intuit bz1k7x Nov 29, 2019

Both perpetuate false narratives. That being said, it’s probably easier to recruit for Facebook.

Both have a stigma

Amazon tallyboy OP Nov 29, 2019

You’re right. Out of the two, which one would be worse?

Guidewire jlingling Nov 29, 2019

Fox imo as a tech worker. Are these both in Seattle?

Pick Fox and be ready to worship Donald Trump and the GOP

I’d take the FB gig. Put in 18 months and start interviewing at companies you actually want to work for. Your FAANG experience should open some doors.
