One of my friends close friend joined facebook in 2013 right out of bachelor of engineering degree as a software engineer and now he is director of engineering at Instagram Ads. That guy studied at IIT-Bombay and he was definitely intelligent but How it’s possible to climb the ladder so fast? He is 32 (same as my age) and I am wondering what could be the TC at this age? My TC: 220k
Provided they have been a Director more than a year they would have got a D1 stock refresher (and very likely additional equity) when stock was at $184 - so their TC is probably ~$2m. Source: I’m also a D who has been at Meta a long time.
What’s your net worth
Not much, I’m a picture of lifestyle inflation. Got an enormous house, 4 kids in expensive schools, housekeeper/gardener etc.
D1 is normally paid how much?
There are actually several D1s at Meta like this
SC is extremely smart.
Full name?
Yeah. You got it right @bobsvagen
You didn’t make it to IIT Bombay? See the difference. IIT Bombay computer science is for notoriously smart folks. I believe top 50 or so.
Yes just saw one getting fired last month because of pip
Always pick the right team and keep moving on to newer growth opportunities
I know another guy also at Meta who's very young and a Director, not even from IIT. Meta keeps promoting you very fast. He went from software engineer to engineering manager in 3 years from 2013-2016. Am I jealous? Yes, but I'm also happy for him. He was there, right place right time. Someone else could also have made it in his place. But that's how unfair life is.
3 years… that is too fast for even genius. And that too to EM… not staff.
Wow. I didn’t knew there are so many that got promoted so fast.
Meta grew very fast in the last 10 years. 5 (or 4?) promotions in 10 years is not that uncommon.
Do you think he is under qualified? Asking genuinely.
Something doesn't add up. How did he make CEO then
Jealous much?
Desi people dream about anyone they know with more TC than them. Such pathetic behavior
crab bucket beta behavior they refuse to believe they arent the best, otherwise it would damage their egos. for all the preaching about meditation amongst Desi, one would think it would be practiced
