Meta Offer IC5
Got an IC5 offer from Meta in CA. Base/RSU/sign-on: 210/600/50 Currently working at Microsoft WA, TC 230k. Kind of like being in Seattle, rain is not an issue. Heard mixed opinions about California. Would you relocate?
Try for 230/850/50. The stock grant is way low
Yes, try for 260/1.2M/100 I know a couple of people who got these numbers
Try for 1M/10M/1M - nice round numbers 👍
Come to Amazon, which can very likely meet or exceed Meta offer and you get to stay in Seattle. Similar high performance company culture, both are large and offer lots of opportunities for professional growth and internal transfer.
And PiP
Meta has the same thing. Not official PIP but you slack a bit and you are out. Same stress.
Congrats! Nice tc bump.In bay area and absolutely love it here. Depends also on having friends/family around. What’s your yoe? I’m in e4/e5 loop and have an onsite scheduled - any tips?
Yoe?
PhD + 4
congrats! is it e5?
Congrats! YOE?
For 210+150k (600/4)= 360k which is 130k more you want to give up your peace of mind, move to a state where you income goes down by 6 to 7% due state tax + if you have a kid you end up paying 20 to 30% more on day care expenses + property tax is 2% higher than Seattle East side (6% higher if you are in Cupertino). It is not worth it unless you “hate” Seattle weather.
There is 15% bonus and stacked refresh from year 2 to year 4. So it is closer to 200k than 130k
Stacked refresh is performance based. Meta is aggressive enough to PIP average performers. Source: wife moved from Microsoft to Meta in Seattle for 30% bump. Year of efficiency has been really high pressure environment and not worth it unless you are killing it.
The increase in TC isn’t enough to make the choice clear so it depends on your current and future team and where you want your live and work
Does that seem a little low for E5? I thought it was roughly 400k
Congrats
