First of all, thanks to the blind community. The TC or GTFO rule helped me to know that there are high TC jobs and I must keep preparing. It took me 1.5 years to be fearless about tech interviews, and I secured offers from Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. All offers in Bay Area.
Facebook (E4):
165k/350k/50k/10%
Google (L4):
The recruiter said that she'd be moving forward to HC without team matching, because I told her I have two other offers. Don't know how it's going to pan out. No offer numbers yet. Also, assuming that HC will pass me as L4 (Correct me, if I should be prepared for any other surprises)
LinkedIn (Sr. SWE):
I was interviewed for a particular team for senior position, but that position got filled out, so recruiter is finding me another team. But he gave me the range of compensation numbers. The average of that range is: 192.5k / 380k / 10% / some sign on. The final numbers would still depend upon the team.
I have the following questions:
1. Is Facebook still a good place to work looking at Apple's recent updates to disrupt facebook's advertisement revenue? What are the pros and cons to work for Facebook? The recruiter said I can easily be promoted to E5 within a year. How easy it is to be promoted to E5 within 33 months? I am afraid of PIP otherwise. The recruiter is asking me for the actual numbers which would satisfy me and stop the conversation to other two companies. What's the max band for E4 in these post-pandemic times?
2. I am concerned about the team-matching phase at Google. I heard people have been waiting for around 6 months to be matched. How is the situation now? How long does it take to be promoted to L5 at G?
3. I have heard good things about LinkedIn from the employees. But I am not sure how long it would take for team-matching at LinkedIn. The recruiter is trying hard, but he can't give me any ETA on team-matching. Has anyone been in this situation? How long does it take to identify the team at LinkedIn?
4. What are the factors I should keep in mind while choosing my next opportunity?
5. What opportunity would you choose in this case?
Current TC: ~$150k (in a tier-3 company, not oracle)
YoE: 6.

FB would be good if you have no life and want to work 70 hours a week.
Pick LinkedIn.
@Infosys: No breaks. Except I was in my hometown for 3 weeks in between. No breaks whatsoever. Just study, study and study. When you feel depressed, just come on blind, or levels to see the compensation numbers.
Do you know anything about refreshers at LinkedIn ?
