Received an offer from Roblox that’s equivalent to my current total comp and level at Facebook. I’m expecting to be promoted to the next level within the next 1-6 months at Facebook, though, since I’ve been at my current level for two years, am doing well, and am at the top of my band. I’ve really liked everyone I’ve met from roblox and am excited about the team and product, but I’m concerned about restarting at the same level @ Roblox and erasing the last two years I’ve invested in getting close to promo at FB. - Does roblox negotiate level or salary once they’ve given an offer? How much were folks able to negotiate in the past? - Any other thoughts on roblox equity valuation, culture, or career growth? TC @ FB $700k, RB offer is similar #Roblox #tech
why would you leave when you might get promoted that soon for equivalent comp and level no less? makes zero sense to jump. defer offer join timing at the minimum
I would recommend sticking with Facebook, I don’t see a reason why in the World would you move with no significant role upgrade or pay upgrade. Are you moving just coz you like the team at Roblox? ROFL, what if you’re moved onto other team after joining? Or those team mates left? In my opinion, if you move, it’s a downgrade!
Yoe ?

What’s your role
Level?
Thanks. This definitely comes across from employees I’ve talked with and I value culture and company growth a lot. Did you try / were you able to negotiate at all?
you have to ask why more people from fb don't go to roblox then? Majority didn't have a poor experience like you I suspect.
E6 to IC5?
How many years did it take you to get to 700k if you don’t mind my asking?
OP, what’s your current level at FB? E6? What level is Roblox offering, IC5?
What level? If its 6 to 7 promo, then stay and collect the promo. Anything below, you can probably reproduce at Roblox. Jump for the higher TC potential. Or you could defer your offer if that's a possibility
Yes that’s what I’m looking at. But it’s not guaranteed and promo is more likely going to be closer to 6 months out than 1. Generally I agree that it makes sense to stay given my situation unless roblox will consider leveling me up. Curious if anyone has had success with that.
