Facebook - Data Engineering, bay area Tc : 250k first year, 210k from then on Microsoft - Software Engineer Azure, seattle Tc: 190k first year, 150k next year's Amazon - Software Engineer, AWS, seattle Tc: 200k over 4 years I'm worried about Facebook's reputation... MSFT seems like a good company to work for.. Mostly b/w fb vs msft. Also if anyone can share their experience working as a DE in facebook. That would be great.. YOE: 4 yrs
I will take Microsoft offer since compute is a good team for growth and learning
Fb anyday!
If it was SWE, FB and it’s not even close. It’s a tier above the other 2. But since SWE is better than DE I’d say AWS but since MSFT is good team maybe MSFT too.
How’s fb a tier above
IMO you will limit your future options by moving to DE at FB.
No FB. Msft for a good life. Amazon for good TC and faster growth.
Look at OP's offers. 50k difference. Amazon typically has better offers than msft for industry hires.
Microsoft culture is shit. Don't go there if you are an excellent engineer. Too much politics in Amazon if you end up with the wrong team. Don't go there unless you have excellent people skills. Much easier to choose a good team at FB via bootcamp. Comp grows much better at FB. Only go here if you are an excellent engineer.
Do Microsoft or Amazon. No state income tax in Washington state, much cheaper rent. Also SDE title.
Ask to work for FB in Seattle.
This. Im much lower (135 salary don't know the exact fulll benefits off the top of my head). As a designer I simply can't equal my pay in the bay (taking into account higher taxes and higher rent). I'm guessing you're straight. Bluntly Seattle has more women. The bay is saturated with straight rich tech geeks looking for love
Negotiate MSFT and it’s a done deal. TC seems low. AWS has terrible WLB and you’ll be doing ops work most of the time. I’d say FB if it wasn’t DE.
