Got invited to FB onsite after one week of joining Amazon

Should I give it seriously ? Should I quit Amazon if I get an offer this early ? Have already changed 2 companies in 2 years. Update : FB role : Enterprise Engineer TC : 190K YOE : 2

If they offer you more why not. A less than a month or two gap doesn't need to go on the resume

SAP usoayans OP Oct 28, 2019

Since it is a Enterprise engineer position, not sure about pay. Lets say if they match, what shoud I do ? It is more of a prestige than pay for me

Amazon will prob ban you forever

Why not? Fb TC and perks are usually much higher than Amazon. Also their process is fast, so don't tell them you're at Amazon now and don't report it when they do background check. You can tell you took a long vacation between the two jobs. Update to my comment: Just found out Fb position is not SWE, so changing my answer: no. Don't do it.

Would need to get a H1 transfer, so probably it will take around a month.

How did you change 2 companies in two years while on a visa ?🤔

Sure man.

Wow nice, what skills do you have? Did you apply or did they reach out?

SAP usoayans OP Oct 28, 2019

I was referred, but they reached out very late when I had already signed offer and got my visa transferred.

Enterprise engineer at FB? Run. Are you SWE at Amazon?

SAP usoayans OP Oct 28, 2019

Yes, is that a bad thing ?

HP GlazedNut Oct 28, 2019

Very bad if you are SWE. Facebook guys can correct me but Enterprise engineering is not on the same track as SWE. They actually get down leveled one level at FB from SWE to EE. This will greatly limit your early career opportunities. If I were you, I would stay at Amazon.

Apple albxvs Oct 28, 2019

Ok, I just read the comments and it seems like Fb position is not SWE. If so, then no, don't change. Update the post with Fb position so people answer better.

SAP usoayans OP Oct 28, 2019

Done. Thanks

Bruh just wanna say I’m so happy for you You def doubled your TC and are living the winners dream 😉 Keep killing it

SAP usoayans OP Oct 28, 2019

Thanks bro. SAP was not bad too but yeah money was peanuts.

Fb is offering you a bottle of wine when it’s really fermented piss. Stay at amazon for at least a year if you are gaining distributed systems experience.

Genesys washtub Oct 28, 2019

Stay at Amazon for at least 2 years.

Facebook eoquebfoau Oct 29, 2019

Enterprise engineering is not same as swe as others mentioned.
