I know this is a frquent poll, but i’m hesitate to decide conisdering WLB in FB. I got several offers as following: FB,E5 TC: 350K + bonus + unknown signon(didnt discuss) Pros: money and brand, 1 level higher. Cons: WLB, team is not good Stripe: L2 TC: 300K, but base is low Pros: growth and team Cons: money, low base. Snap: L3 in Seattle TC: 300K include bonus. in the middle Google downleveled me to L3 (not sure why).. I don’t think they can compete though. TC is same as levels.fyi, FB pays highest, as the level is higher. > snap > stripe. yoe: 3 Btw, first poll created.
E5 at 3 yoe is phenomenal
FB just because of E5, it opens more doors for you later on
Yeah, I heard some opinion on that.
FB internal transfers for SWE arnt THAT hard, so I wouldn’t let the bad team deter u too much
team I don’t know whether it’s bad or not. But not meet my interest, and hesitate of WLB and what happened recently...
Congrats op! mind sharing which org&product and which level at amazon?
Im sde2 in aws
do you mind sharing which product you are working at? I’m at cdo and consider which aws team to transfer to.
Honestly, as a 2.5 yoe at Amazon myself, I would be scared to join FB at E5. I’d feel overleveled and jumping into a senior position that seems like it would demand a lot more than amazon L5. I’d go with Stripe. They have a far better culture and it shows from the different founders. Can you help me with how you studied and managed to pass all these interviews? What was key to Stripe?
With low base, I’m not sure whether I can survive if move to SF before IPO. To pass Stripe interviews, just be confident with your daily work, debug, coding, design etc.
SF will be fine. Even 150 base will be atleast 7.5k a month. A 1br is 3.5k max if you look around. You’ll have money leftover. I don’t see how my daily work helps me pass FB interviews of 1 LC med and 1 LC hard in 30 mins. I hear Stripe’s are much more thoughtful to day to day eng work though.
How did you get an E5 interview with only 3 YOE? That is E4 territory. This feels like a troll post
How did you convince Facebook to interview you for E5? That's too fast for someone with just 3 YOE.
Got FB E5 with 2YOE. Has fb waterdowned the level?
What degree do you have? PhD?
How was the Facebook E5 system design interview? Their prep broadcast was very high level and the pretend candidate didn’t give very detailed answers
