I’m currently in negotiations with Facebook and Amazon. I received my Amazon offer letter and gave Facebook all the numbers regarding base, stock, bonus, etc... I haven’t told Amazon yet that Facebook is interested in extending me an offer but they do know I’m waiting to hear back from them. Should I tell Amazon that Facebook is interested in giving me an offer or would I run the risk of them retracting their offer to avoid a bidding war with Facebook? In that case should I just wait a couple days to hear back from Facebook before reaching back out to Amazon? small note: I’m extremely grateful for both offers but I also did work my ass off the past few months to prepare for these interviews TC 130 YOE 2years #facebook #amazon #google #linkedin #microsoft #offer #negotiation #faang

You are worth nothing. Remember that and try being humble.
Recruiter here. It’s always helpful to us to keep us aware of other interview activity. I can’t imagine a reason Amazon would pull the offer just because Facebook is making an offer. That doesn’t make sense to me. Congratulations on a couple of options!
Awesome, thank you! I’ll let them know
I would let Facebook know about the Amazon offer and request them to give you an answer soon if possible. letting amazon know about another potential offer doesn’t hurt either. You just need to let everyone know you are being transparent about your situation. People respect that.
Sorry you’re at Facebook and you have an offer from Facebook?
Take two phones. call both of them on speaker at the same time on then enjoy what ensues
Are you posting from your friend's phone who is working at Facebook? or Are you already at Facebook but interviewed externally at FB and lied to FB that you are at Amazon?
He/she must be the Facebook intern in the past
Don’t make a confusion out of this process. Get your Facebook offer first. Go back to amazon if required only (Fab offer is higher). Your other option is to bluff, but be prepared to face the consequences (potentially losing your offer). Don’t try to overnegotiate at your YOE you’re likely to mess up
Yep. Do not not a good idea to do anything without offer in hand.
Definitely not trying to bluff with either of them. I’m just unsure whether to update Amazon right away about FB interests or whether it’s okay to stay silent a couple days while waiting for FB offer
