Got 2 offers recently, both are senior roles.Still negotiating comps, here’s what I have now: Meta: 200k base, 637k/4yrs RUS, 15% bonus, 70k signon 2Sigma: 250k base, 225k bonus, 15k stock buyback, signon amount not disclosed yet Meta pros: - Full remote - More interesting teams and projects - Better growth Meta cons: - WLB - Uncertainty about metavervse and stock value 2Sigma pros: - TC in cash - Good WLB, slower pace 2Sigma cons: - Less exciting projects - Harder to get promoted - Support role Any advice would be appreciated. TC200k, YOE 6yrs
Meta 500k - I doubt
guess ur right. that what I am hoping for
Good luck, I guess there is some room left for negotiation
TC breakdown?
updated
Can to share offer breakdown and your prep?
updated. just LC, mostly medium. I can’t solve most of the hard ones
Meta TC will grow much faster. Along with full remote and the fact that 2S is a support role, it seems like an easy decision for Meta unless you really want to move to finance.
what does their growth look like? how much refresh or raise should I expect? Thanks!
2sigma offers 225k bonus in writing ? Is it guaranteed? If so i would take 2sigma.
only 1st year is guaranteed
Year end bonus is widely accepted to be a monotonically increasing value, though of course no one would ever state it in writing or formally. The day someone’s bonus goes down (or even stays flat) they know to look elsewhere.
What do you mean support role? What’s the name of your position?
data engineer
Like for their data pipeline team? Yeah avoid that’s boring work
Go somewhere else if you don’t believe in zuck. We want missionaries not mercenaries
If you join 2s at this level and role your TC is probably mostly capped. Promo in a support role wouldn't be easy and although 2s is top-tier for new grads, comp growth is slower than FAANG. That offer for E5 looks low. Interview at Amazon (they seem to have updated the bottoms of their paybands by at least $150k and have no cap for negotiating upward) and leverage that into a 450k+ Meta offer. Or if you get lucky, just take their 700k SDEIII offer.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I tried amazon but got rejected after phone interview. got no clue. maybe lp?
What do you mean by a support role? Support eng L4s don’t make that much, so I’m assuming you mean that you will be supporting modelers? Which is actually considered business facing at TS and therefore easier to promote than most other roles

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
If you don't want to do support long term, don't take a support role now.
