Meta E4 vs Tiktok 2-2

The meta sign on is tentative. She said 100k might not be possible. But somewhere between 50k-100k Tiktok offer is for 2-2. Both team projects are great. Just unsure about tiktok's culture.

Meta for your sanity and mental health

Google zOKe30 Nov 10, 2023

Meta is not a place you go to keep your sanity or mental health. Compared to TikTok it’s better but that’s not a high bar. I’d rather be unemployed than sacrifice my life to either of them

How bad is meta, @google?

ByteDance MCHNLRN Nov 10, 2023

Your 2-2 equity seems low. But I would choose meta lol. What area do you work in?

Flexport ImSomebody OP Nov 10, 2023

Why meta? USDS. Can you tell me if that org is more chill than rest of TT

ByteDance MCHNLRN Nov 10, 2023

It depends on your team.

Hi congrats on your offers! Would you mind sharing your prep for coding and sys. design? Were most of your coding questions medium difficulty? Thank you in advance

Flexport ImSomebody OP Nov 10, 2023

Lots of LC. System design was Alex xu, ddia, tech blogs and tech talks for many companies. Watch infoq tech talks

Flexport ImSomebody OP Nov 10, 2023

Questions were basically all medium except 1 hard for TT which is a well known one

Lyft Dr SWE Nov 10, 2023

Why the levelling diff? Can you negotiate Meta up with your TT offer?

Flexport ImSomebody OP Nov 10, 2023

Don't think I can, or else recruiter would have suggested it. Lack of YOE. I have 5, ask was 6

Lyft Dr SWE Nov 10, 2023

Don’t listen to recruiter. Be prepared to walk away. Dm me, Im also negotiating with meta and TikTok

Microsoft sp3781 Nov 10, 2023

My recruiter told me the max E4 for Seattle was 70k sign on

Flexport ImSomebody OP Nov 10, 2023

Damn. She said maybe I get 80k.

Microsoft sp3781 Nov 10, 2023

Maybe my recruiter was bluffing. Keep us posted

Flexport ImSomebody OP Nov 10, 2023

5.5 YOE

Qualcomm Hw_sw Nov 10, 2023

Congratulations on the offer, both options look great, mind sharing your YOE and preparation strategy

You can't spell "toxic work environment" without the T-I-K-T-O-K

LinkedIn aavi92 Nov 12, 2023

Says meta lmao

Amazon kqqt45 Nov 12, 2023

Takes one to know one lol. But the stories coming out of Bytedance makes the average Meta team look like a retirement home.

Zoom 走馬燈 Nov 10, 2023

Choose high TC because it erodes children's souls.

Amazon $&@“:;?!’ Nov 11, 2023

Meta ib007 Nov 12, 2023

One time, get paid in the first check

Microsoft wlite Nov 13, 2023
