Does Meta do retention offers to keep talent?

I’ve heard that Meta/FB doesn’t do retention offers in general. Does anyone who is a high performer (consistent GE) or holds an important position have experience contradicting this?

Thanks!

      OP
      I disagree with you when it comes to hardware. Just in the teams I’m working with, there are super specialized positions such as display and optics for wave guides, SLAM tracking, various calibration roles that have been open for nearly a year without being filled. For some of those roles the recruiters can’t even find candidates to match the qualifications at IC5+ levels and sometimes we need to look at really junior candidates and invest a year to bring them up.

    They do. I’ve boomeranged since, but during my initial departure I was asked how much it would take for me to stay. It was a bit insulting given that money wasn’t the reason I was leaving at the time but atrocious management.

      My last two halves before leaving was a redefines expectations and greatly exceeds expectations. I was leading a large cross-functional, company-wide effort that required strong zero-to-one thinking which is where I spike as a Product person and Meta generally lacks overall.

    You can’t outright ask for it, they’ll tell you to walk. But you can hint that you are underpaid or unhappy through various roundabout means and they may eventually reciprocate in H2 PSC with DE. Note: this is mainly an E7/E8 sort of thing, you need to have proven your value there and perception/tenure matters to some extent.

      The E7/E8 bit is not true but it is an exception, not a rule. Generally speaking, most companies are flexible when it comes to top tier talent.
