How does this offer look? Should I jump ship? Yoe 5 #meta
Idk man. RTO is pretty fun 🤪
Doesn't Meta have the same RTO as Amazon?
That TC bump isn’t worth the potential risk you’d be taking on by joining Meta. See this thread and stay at Amazon unless something is pushing you out like PIP or Focus: Check out this post! "PSA: Join Meta at own risk (Software Engineering Career)" https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/maA0SsbB Good luck! TC: 105K

Did you interview for E5 and get down leveled to E4? Is all the 5 YOE at Amazon? Joining as E4 can take up to 33 months to get promoted to E5. There might be more work and a 50k pay bump might not be justified if everything is fine with your current work at Amazon. How far are you from your promo to L6?
Isn’t it much more standard/common to get hired as E4 than E5 for 5yoe?
Yes was downlevelled. Not close to promo here.
go for it
E4 is a good level to join at Meta. You will have to focus first on execution, rather than an E5 where you are expected to be much more independent / etc which may some times take away from on-the-ground work due to all the "leading" that you are expected to do. I would go for sure. Meta also has more upsides with refreshers than Amazon
What does “leading” involve? Is it much harder than E4?
Experience may vary quite a lot depending on team and setup, but E5s are expected to come up with scope and being more independent. If they are not coming up with scope because there's a strong E6 in the area, they are expected to still do a lot of tactical leading and to be more proactive around other aspects of the team). E4s can mostly just focus on coding at first, only when starting to think about promo is thay they need to worry about other behaviors.
What’s your current level in Amazon and what’s your yoe?
You have a chance to leave Amazon. Not sure how is that a question at all.
Are you BS or MS hire?
OP how did you get 70k signon? Competing offers?
