Expecting a promotion. Current TC 650ish. L7 FB TC not known yet and I won’t know it till the promo goes through. Google offer 250 base 1.9MM RSU. Need to make a decision before the FB promo goes through. Anyone else in a similar situation? #l7
Do you still code at that level or just manage ppl?
tech lead - system design and heavy coding
Wow amazing numbers
Is there a deadline to accept G offer ?
no deadline was mentioned - but I can’t wait 2 month or whatever it takes for my promo to go through...
I’d just take google offer probably will be better wlb but idk how much that applies at such a high level
Idk all this, but do you want a girlfriend 👸
Wait till promo goes through. Push back on G offer for sometime. Although the G offer seems too high for Fb to beat, unless you get a DE with the promo!
yea that seems best, so I have both numbers but I’m not sure if that’s doable - I heard stories with offers being rescinded. Also I have interviewed in other few places, they’re more than 10% off (on the low side), so the G offer is definitely the best ATM
They usually don’t rescind. But depends on how long to wait before you know the number. Also career growth is another factor. Starting over at G might be hit or miss. In FB you have established yourself. IC or Management? I know getting to D in google requires a lot of stars to align, and getting to PE is even harder. Fb is more lenient with promotions.
It’ll take a while for your refreshers to catch up to L7 new hire amount. Financially better to leave but there Coles be other reasons to stay
Unless you are unhappy with FB, that's a huge pay cut right? Google TC is barely touching $600k, while your FB pre- promotion itself is $650k, likely to go up by 10-20% after promo. If you can get offer offer from Google once you can get it again. I wouldn't worry about it.
totally G better wlb
not worries about that - my wlb is awesome here after all this time
idk then better work flow?
Yoe? Background?
