WLB, choose Uber. Snap has serious pip. Meta is fine but pool wlb.

  OP
  
  What's the latest on the return to office policy? Is it trending towards mandatory days? I'm asking because the majority of my team would be located in a different city, so I am not sure if I should stay in my city or move.

  It depends on the team you join

None of good for wlb. I’d stay away from TikTok if that’s most important to you. Rest are pretty much same.

My vote is for meta. Faster promotions so you can hit e5 easier.

  I’d still do meta then. Uplevels are up hill battles. Senior band is terminal level at most companies. Anything lower you will need to keep interviewing every couple years.
  
  Eventually you’ll have to make the jump to e5 either at meta or elsewhere.

  OP
  
  I feel like the interviewing is not too bad. I'm going to keep the skills sharp for job security reasons. I rather just interview in a couple of years and relax on the job vs. gunning for a promotion every day

Uber offer is actually significantly higher if you look at first 2 years

  It’s not bad, no expectations to work after work hours

  Actually with the meta stock so low, I feel like the stock recovery could boost the meta comp a ton.

Do you mind talking about snap interview? Did you do company questions tagged on leetcode ?

  OP
  
  They were hards but I literally only got brute force. I think its more about thought process and clear implementation and test cases. In my experience at all these companies minus Meta, the tagged Q's for all these companies are like 10x harder than the actual interview

I feel people underestimate the 3 yr vesting schedule, if you scale Snap rsu to 4 years it’s 700k+ with no cliff.
I dont think you could go wrong here but snap’s not a bad option depending on your risk tolerance and personal preference

  @smap according to this thread, people at snap are claiming it's tough to get the 10% bonus for meeting expectations https://www.teamblind.com/post/Cash-bonus-at-Meta-Uber-and-Snap-io1pegjM
  
  Is that normal?

  sure it’s not guaranteed but majority getting 0% is not true
