I have FB and Google offer. Both L4/E4 Level.
Pay is similar with FB paying $10k more. Looking at what’s best for my career growth.
Location is FB Seattle and Google Kirkland.
I am looking for lots of career growth, fast moving, more ownership.
I am leaning towards FB and I think FB Seattle is growing a lot and FB is more fast paced.
Your thoughts ?

1. Either these posts are fake and are intended for trolling.
2. Or, there is a huge bubble called FB.
I lean more towards the second. It doesnt make sense to me that any company would spend these crazy amounts on engineers with such little experience. Seems that a level 60/61 at Microsoft is earning like a Principal level (at MS) at FB. Just doesnt sound right.
Not completely blaming MS, the point is at FB/GOOG, it’s much easier to work/own a large scale project, whereas the opportunity at MS is very limited.
I do not like the hacker culture as well because I was in such team in MS and tired of patching everyday.
I spend a lot of time over design/spec review and then on code reviews ensuring code quality is very good (SOLID, UTs, mocks etc applied).
In the end, we ship very slowly.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
