I have been at FB for ~1.7 years. The stress level at FB has been insane. I joined E5, gotten GEs every PSC and just got promoted to E6 in 1.5 years. I initiated and led a large company wide work (spanning 4 orgs - 20+ SWEs), worked like a dog. How is Airbnb, Uber, Google etc. culture? I am thinking of leaving. Is it as stressful? If not, then FB is highly overrated. TC: $400k (should be $500k+ next year if I stay)

i bet your hourly rate will increase no matter where you move to
Only 400K TC in E6!?! I know people at that TC in E5. Not worth managing 20 people if some of them have higher salary. Go to MSFT. Theyâll match your tc
I got promoted to E6 this month ;)
Airbnb is not as stressful and TC is significantly better. Our perf reviews are run in a similar way but WLB is seriously respected on most teams. DM for referral.
Airbnb is #1 on my list. I heard culture is similar to FB. I will DM you. I need to a month to prep đ at first
Most of the stress will be due to people and dealing with personalities, not from the pressure to perform. We got stack ranking where certain percentage of people have to have below expectations, and I think this is similar to FB, but no one gets PIPed for it. People do get PIPed for consecutive Needs Improvement but this is rare.
Come to Nextdoor. Youâll have more impact and youâll have WLB. We have a great future ahead of us.
Sounds like you're choosing this. I work ~35 hour weeks at FB, and I got E5 EE this half.
For work/life balance join a tier 2 like Yelp, you will make less but will be loved, and not work as hard. Find a company thatâs a good fit. No reason everybody has to work for FAANG
Uber is very stressful if youâre working towards a promo. The committees are pretty brutal at combing over every detail of your work and finding fault. If youâre content at your current level, it seems pretty laidback.
Sounds dumb that theyâre that nit picky

Why Pronouns shit captured US ? I donât see this anywhere else
Move to msft. I heard google is similar
I worked at MSFT for 5 years. Not going back. Too much beauracracy. Not worth it. Hopefully I can find somewhere between fB and Msft
OP I am an ex FB, joined Google a few months ago. Loving it here. Come join us. Btw, $400k for E6 is đ„ , I make that much as L5, bail
