IC5 Pay @ Facebook Austin?

I was told base:130k TC 150-160k YOE: 7ish specifically in-industry: 5 but that seemed low to me. Just trying to understand the room to negotiate. Any salary Ic4 or Ic5 to share for Austin?

TC or base salary?

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 3, 2019

Trying to find out either. More interested in Base. Was told 130k base which seems like a lowball to every thing else I’ve seen for IC5

Depends what role for IC5.

Lmao that sounds insane. I make more than than in NC

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 3, 2019

Agreed, seems incredibly low even for the company. But design has a large salary spread

Welcome to Austin

If base is 130k, your TC will be much higher because your cash will be 150k including bonus.

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 3, 2019

I’d be much more interested in a higher base than anything else, do you have any advice that may help during negotiation?

Facebook lovethez Dec 3, 2019

Usually there's not much room to negotiate on the base pay. The most room you have is on stocks. I'd be interested in knowing how much stock they offer. At E5 I'm expecting a TC between 250k and 300k in Austin

YOE?

7, any tips for upping that base during negotiation?

What role?

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 3, 2019

This is for ux design/content

Ux design and content strategy are two separate roles at FB. Which one is it? Designers get paid way more than content strategists here.

Jeez is Austin pay that low? E5 in MPK get ~400k TC. Designer comp should be close to eng, right?

Facebook GaAn03 Dec 3, 2019

No, designers don't get as much as engineers at FB. Equity is much less.

When u not mention the ladder or role, you really expect an answer?

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 3, 2019

I don’t know how to answer the ladder question. This is for a content strategy role

Facebook public2 Dec 3, 2019

So 0 equity?

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 3, 2019

I’m concentrating on base over TC

Facebook lovethez Dec 3, 2019

You should look at Netflix then

Google m6r4 Dec 3, 2019

Wait so are you not getting stock or just ignoring it? FYI stock is as good as salary at a company like FB. It's not something that you should discount ala paper money at a startup.

Dell zncW42 OP Dec 4, 2019

But isn’t it locked up until you work there a certain amount of time?

Only a 3 month cliff at FB (plus time before grant)
