Hi all,

I got an offer from both Facebook and google and want to get some suggestions from this community.

FB IC6
Total comp around 450k

Google L5
No comp yet but was told that they will try to match. It is 350k for 75 percentile on levels.fyi

I also have other preipo offers around 400k

Thank you so much for the help.

    Is it SWE role? In the US? If yes, FB can go above that, look on other posts on blind, I've seen numbers in the range of 550-600K. Anyway, I was in a similar situation and chose FB. 5-->6 transition on the IC ladder (in Tech) is one of the hardest. Better to start in FB, and later on if you don't like it you can interview in Google for L6. FB E6 will give you much broader scope than G L5, so much more growth potential.

      I see. Did you try to negotiate so that they'll get closer to top of the band?

      Yeah, they ask for competitive offers. I can probably pump up another 5% but probably not top of the band unless google gives me a higher offer

    If you care for the level do not go to G. Regardless of what recruiters tell you promo is really hard and exhausting.

      From what I saw (have a bunch of friends working at G), most just won't make it. Many tenured people at G just stay 5 forever. For those that do make it it oftentimes takes at least 3 years.

    450k is easily matchable at L5. Expect a large sign on though to bring it close.

    My guess is you could get something like:
    210k base
    15% bonus (30k)
    700k stocks
    75k sign on

    Stocks are front loaded. So is sign-in (obviously).

    Dafuq!? Google is a downlevel, don’t be an idiot. E6 is L6.
