Heard it’s hard to find E7+ at Facebook
But I saw huge amount of people are at E6+
Also know most of G L4/5 got E6 at Facebook
Wonder what’s the true percentage of E6, E7, E8 at Facebook

  • E6 is 8-9% or so. E7 is 1%

  • "most of G L4/5 got E6 at Facebook" I don't see that but well don't want to deviate the discussion.
    E7 is very demanding for sure, no matter the percentage.
    I am pretty happy staying at E6 (years already having GE as well) and don't want to go E7. Well, I am not that good as well. Definitely know ppls who are really good and perform well at E7.

      OP
      Do you feel whether it’s safer to join as M2 instead of E7? Probably joining as M2 with a big team can easily build trust?

    • @Movefast, could you tell me the difference in work and responsibilities of an E5 vs E6? Just asking because I have an interview scheduled at Facebook, and though the recruiter told me that it's for an E5 role, I will try for E6.

  • Nowadays e6+ and m1+ is already more than a quarter of engineering.
    Inflation is real.

  • I have an interview scheduled at Facebook. I enquired about the level and the recruiter said it will be E5. I asked her if it can be E6, and she told me that it will depend on my performance in the system design round.

    However, I am curious to know what differentiates an E6 from E5? What kind of work do they do? How different are their responsibilities?

      What tles said. E6 should have two design rounds.

      Ask for E6 interview and you can just get down leveled to E5 based on interview performance

    • What about Front-end positions? Do they also have two system design rounds?

      Also, I believe Front-end system design interview questions are not similar to backend/infra roles. So any idea what kind of questions to expect in front end system design interview?
