Hey Metamates, I will join as a M1 in a month. I have been with Amazon for 2 yrs as an L6 SDM. How big of a change would it be in terms of responsibility and company culture? Old TC 500 New TC 600 #meta #facebook #instagram

One more Amazon M1 coming to ruin the culture and life of 8-10 ICs. One request: please don't bring Amazon toxicity with you.
Massive change in culture. Congratulations on the TC bump and moving away from Amazon. Life as an M1 at Meta varies depending on your org. Responsibilities would be to support 6-8 ICs, align priorities across your partners, identify appropriate scope for your team, influence strategy and provide direction on the roadmap.
Do us a favor and unlearn the “focus” skill
Your ICs will hate you
TC bump is not much, how much after tax?
Work your ass off first year, try to get a Meets. Else it’s tough to survive as an M1 at Meta. It’s not middle management role where it can south soon.
Congrats on the offer. Don’t worry too much about what people say Be ready for some hostility. Most People here hate ex Amazon managers. The culture is totally different. Teams are empowered and managers have way less power than at Amazon. It’s more bottoms up If you did well at Amazon, it will feel like shit crazy at Meta If you were suffering at Amazon, it may feel relieving Overall, don’t expect less stress. It way more especially now that pips and layoffs are here
+1 coming from Amazon where it was top down but in Meta your directs have a lot of sway. If you’re annual survey results are below average, you will take a lot of heat from your Director to fix it. Success in Meta means caring and looking out for your directs compared to Amazon is hard to come by.
All I can see is the 🔥 TC. Couldn't read the rest of the post
