Offer: Director at HBOMax vs E6 at Meta vs M1 at Twitter
TC: ~770k for HBO and Meta, 710k for Twitter To clarify, all the TCs above included projected refresher (1/4 at y2, 1/2 at y3, 3/4 at y4) at meet level Current TC: 600k at Google Leaning towards HBO for the title and scope, but on the other hand not so sure about the culture/risk. Meta could be a great choice if the stock bumps up, but also heard that external E6 is not easy to survive, and nowadays there are too many E6s so scope could be an issue as well. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! #engineering #hbomax #hbo #meta #twitter
Fuck me meta is paying 770 at E6!!! Congrats just join Meta!
No they are not. The OP included refreshers and sign on in the calculation. Current E6 max is 255k base 1.275m RSU They will go up to 1.4 for few positions (ML research) and if there are written offers. So a 600k - 680 Max Tc. Op is calculating refreshes and signon
To clarify, all the TCs above included projected refresher (1/4 at y2, 1/2 at y3, 3/4 at y4) at meet level
That's not how you calculate TC. Did you model in the average multipliers too?
Oops sorry I didn’t know the right way to calculate TC. I did not model in the multipliers. I just added (1/4+1/2+3/4)*(meet rating target refresh amount)/4 to the total TC calculation
What is the breakdown for meta?
250k, 20%, 1.4m, 100k
The spreadsheet I got from Meta recruiter actually factored in sign-on and refresher (meet level), which leads to the 770+ number
jfc E6 comp is almost 4 times my current E4 comp of $200k with stock decrease
What do you want to do? Director vs M1 vs IC. It's all over the place. Just go with the one you vibed with the most and that aligns with your 3-5 year plan. Small differences in TC shouldn't matter that much.
Thanks. My 3-5 year plan is definitely about eng leadership. My interview experience with HBO Max is good, but also heard very bad things about the culture/eng quality there on Blind. Another unknown part is since HBO is not a real tech company, not super confident on how the market value the title
At Director level you definitely have some power to affect the culture of your org. Be the change you want to see! Worst case you can always come back to Google within a year without interview.
Google, you have to break down the TC and please don’t include refreshers or sign on bonuses in the TC calc You should be smarter than this.
Director or staying at Google. 100k is not a significant increase based on your current comp.
Location??
Offers are all remote
What city / geo though ? That factors into it
What do you do? A general SWE or some niche? Looks like gangsta money!!
Quite specialized SWE
