*Update*

They couldn’t make any magic happen to get me more or higher role, they actually regressed 🤣…

Updated Base: $205k
Updated TC/yr: $317k

Said they got all senior leadership involved and Finance and HR wouldn’t budge. I think we all know the answer now if it’s worth leaving…

But they did “promise” me rapid promotion to make up for it within 6months…

___________

I just got an offer from Meta for a TPM role (ICT5+) - since they couldn’t get leadership on board for ICT6 which they told me is likely to happen after my panel…

Base: $214k
Rsu: $450k
TC/yr: $326k

Sign-on: $50k
Yearly Bonus: 15%


Current Apple TC/yr: $330k (before bonus)

YOE: 10+ yrs

Ask: is this worth the jump with what they told me I can get to ICT6 in a year or sooner? I’m working through promo for ICT5 at Apple now.

      Because sign-on is a one-time thing and will not be part of your TC going forward.

      Ok dumb question but can someone explain how TC is calculated for these comparisons overall? Especially the amount per year is confusing to me because my offer from Amazon was different for each year (first 4 years). Do you exclude sign on, include base and RSUs*share price at the time of offer??? Then take the total and divide by 4 or something? I’m lost lol

    No. You won’t be able to make 6 in a year. Don’t trust the recruiter

    I wouldn’t join. Apple did the same to me , promised promotion in a year with a down level. I joined - instant regret.

    Never ever buy the promise of promoting within a year or sooner in a big tech FAANG unless it is written in the contract.

    Ask yourself, will you get someone hired new promoted to a sr level within a year when it almost takes a new hire approx 5 6 months to get used to the culture and in house tech/tools/terminologies. How can you expect Meta to promote you within the first year ? I mean on what basis will they promote you to the next level? Will you have enough data points to justify that promotion in a year or sooner.

    Thats the biggest scam recruiters have for people to join the companies.

    PS: I got promoted to L6 at Amazon in 18 months and my manager told me that this is the fastest they have seen anyone promoting to a sr L6 at Amazon. But in my case, my entire team was L6 and above and all our work was L6 scope or above. It was easier for me to promote to next level because I started working on projects of L6 scope.

      Thanks for the insight. Is this what happened when you got hired that they promised you this?

      They did lol .. to be precise they mentioned they will talk about promotion in a year. And they did that, they started talking 🤣

      Promotion process itself at amazon is almost a quarter long of work/doc writing/approval etc. M sure it will be on a similar timeline at Met too. I had taken a parental leave during this time so my promotion delayed by a quarter
