Got the following offer at FB for Research Data Scientist position. YoE: 14 Level: E5 Base: 180K per year Bonus: 15% RSU (for 4 years): 450K Refreshers: not sure My current pay at Amazon is 250K (in Bay Area) Is it a good offer from FB? How much would be the yearly refresher for meeting the expectation?
I think you can ask for 100k sign on?
That’s the final offer. No sign on
Does any one know how much will be yearly refreshers? Is that guaranteed for meets expectations?
your recruiter should be able to tell you this - something around 60%-70% of your base
Unless you’re in need of a promotion, better to stay at a company that will continue to grow (AMZN) versus one that will see either a decline or stunted growth (FB)
this one has aged badly
Refreshers are at least $100K/year for meets expectations
Thanks
horrible offer, unless it's 450k rsu per year.
RSU's seem low for a research DS position, but I've heard over and over again that FB lowballs data scientists. Uber L5a DS would offer you like sinilar salary but 500-600k rsu.
So the the TC is about 320k? Looking at levels the median for e5 is around 370k. If you can get about 600k RSU, you would be close to median and that would seem fair. Now TC seems 50k too low. I would not say it is horrible given that your current TC is 250k but not the best either.
Does levels.fyi include the refreshers in the TC?
It does. You can filter by years in company and set it to zero to see individual offers but the filtering doesn't change the median. So likely the median is inflated due to refreshers. Good point.
Thanks everyone for your inputs
Did you take it
You get to decide whether the pay bump of 20% is a good offer 😊
