Not sure what your parameters for the decision are. You might want to think about the impact of: 1. Moving and settling down costs. 2. Role details - msft TPMs do very different things than FB TPMs. 3. Scalability of your role 4. Performance of the org you’re joining. Etc. If you consider just TC looks like you should join FB. Curious: what’s the vesting period of your signing bonus and equity?
Thank you for the details. Yes , several parameters to be considered, a mix of both personal n career oriented... Considering FB too, would like more details on FB culture n TPM role day-to-day responsibilities to be develop some more confidence into the decision. Signing bonus is within the first couple weeks of joining... Equity is 4 years.
Can you share some additional advice on what is exactly different between MSFT v FB TPM role
Solid FB offer, is that for MPK? Or Seattle?
Menlopark
I think one of the factors you should consider is proximity to HQ and it's impact on the type of projects you will be working on and your career progress. Also AFAIK FB environment is more aggressive. So theoritacally speaking you might have less stress at Microsoft but you might wish to ask the recruiter for an interview with some of the team members to get more insights
Is that L6 at FB? Refreshers are waaay better at FB.
Confirm your level at FB, it looks to be at E6 as bonus is 20%. If so, you should take it. We have senior principals and directors from other companies at this level. You will get to make great impact.
Congrats on offers! Can you sharing interviewing process?
OP, I am awaiting offers for the same positions at the same two companies. Which company did you end up choosing? Can I DM you?
Levels?
E5 at FB n 64 at Msft
