150k base
10 % bonus
250k RSUs over 4 years
TC: 227,5k
20 k sign on
Current at fb:
142k base
10% bonus
55k in unvested RSUs over 3 years
So TC is about 172k because I did not negotiate when joined, and my initial RSU grant was just 60k.
I also in enterprise engineering( which is kinda traditional IT department), but may be able to switch to Production Engineering(fb’s synonym of SRE), where they have better equity refreshers, but that won’t fix my tiny initial rsu grant.
Should I stay if I switch to PE for better experience and lower tc or should I go for 30% higher tc now?
Also, recruiter is demanding answer by Monday, but I have pre-screen with google next Wednesday.
UPD: 6 years of relevant experience, and 4 of less relevant

With LinkedIn you can jump ship whenever. Switching internally at FB will mean you become an SRE, but the pay is low. Why not be an SRE at LinkedIn and keep the raise?
