13 YOE, L6. Google TC: 480k/yr FB TC: 530/yr + 100k signing Fb is offering 100k sign on and 50k/year more than Google. Team at FB is interesting but in the Ads org, and I've heard WLB could be a concern. Career growth is a possibility. Google's team doesn't seem like they do anything that interesting tech wise today, but has the possibility of growing into a really interesting team longer term. WLB is likely better. I'm probably not going to grow here though given Google's slow promos. Which would you take?
google cloud is distinctly different culturally from the rest of google. I wouldn't generalize the wlb at either. do research on the team you'd likely be joining
Depends on where you're at in your career and what you want to do, imo
How so? I don't have kids but am likely going to soon. No idea what I want to do long term. I just want to have work not suck.
Do you like Ads?
Never done it before!
I hated it as I felt like I was not solving customer problem but making people click on ad banners. Can’t waste my life on that.
Yoe and full offers? 50k is a lot more for L3, but not a big deal for L5. What are your goals? It's hard to answer this question with so little context.
13 yoe, L6. I don't really know what my goals are. I'd like to work on an interesting problem, learn, and improve skills. At my level, I don't actually know what I need to do to get to L7. Mostly people stuff and right place right time I'm guessing. Part of me feels like I've been working hard for a really long time and would love an environment that isn't draining, but I also know I get bored quickly if it's not challenging and engaging.
I don't think Google imposes a chill wlb, so you can rev up the pace at your own terms, though I would check how it is in Google cloud. FB is a different story though
I'd throw my life away and work 140 hours a week for that TC.
I'm in the bay so it's not as great as it looks. I'm not complaining, but barely enough to afford a mortgage on a starter home.
Dude, what kinda home price do you consider starter? You can definitely afford 1.5M
What part of GCP would you be working on for google team?
Are both offers for L6 role ? FB L6 I have heard is very stressful even to get MeetsAll.
Google won't match?
What level has fb and goog?
just by looking at your post it seems like you have already made up your mind
I actually haven't. I waver back and forth every other day
