Hey! I started working at FB london a couple of months ago. It’s amazing here, but the pay isn’t great. I’m a new grad and want to maximize my savings. I’m on E3 level. 3 months at FB. That’s why I want to move to the US. I have a non-European passport. I heard people talking on Blind that after a year Facebook can transfer their employees to US on L1 visas. 1) Is thing sort of thing common? 2) How likely is that I get selected, given my non-EU passport? 3) How would I go about telling my manager or anyone else this decision? Whom to tell first? 4) In case I get promoted to E4, will my salary be the same as regular E4 employees in the US? #l1 #l1b
Try get the uk citizenship if you can firdt
How would that help?
If your other passport is shitty at least you get good travel privileges. Once in the US, you might not like it, and even if you do, us citizenship comes with worldwide taxation. Think twice
1.) Try to move as soon you hit the one year mark 2.) Passport has nothing to do with L1 3.) Apply for green card as soon as you land in the US-if you weren’t born in India you will get it in a year or 1.5 years
Im from a European country that is not in the EU
That’s good - no green card backlog.Just move quickly.No use of a British passport if you can get a green card
If your born in India, don't at least marry an Indian. Should be fine for GC.
FC? FYI: I’m European. Just non-EU
Ah ok you edited
I'm a bit curious to know how stock refresher will work if OP moves to US cause the stock grant for first 4 years was based on London salary levels and I'm not sure if they're given again as soon as he lands in US ?
Same question
Refreshers are U.S based, I’m 90% sure. RSU stays in London levels. Only after the grant period finishes do RSUs get adjusted to US levels
It's going to be almost 2 years. How has been your move OP?

I still haven't understood how this works in Europe. I'm also interested. As far as I know, some companies (life Microsoft and Google) can send you to the US pretty easily. Others might have you work in Europe a bit before letting you transfer. No idea about FB in particular and regarding the fact that you're not European. 3) I would tell HR 4) no, the ratio stays the same (you'll earn less than in us no matter the role)
Earning less sucks 🙃 especially bcs its almost the sole Reason I want to move
