I joined meta in 2022 mid from amazon as E4 when stock was 185. My tc bumped to 430k this year after stock rise and refreshers. My manger is saying to me to target promotion this half but I am not sure if the additional tc bump is worth the added responsibilities. I just work 3-4hrs a day and finish my work. Please suggest if I should go for promotion or not and how much of TC jump can I expect? TC: 430k
At some point you will have E5 expectations
yeah thats true. Thats why I am thinking to go for it when things are good.
Thats not something anyone here can answer. Thats your career and your choice. Do you want to ladder up, get to the next level and take on higher profile work or yourself working at this level forever ? Also keep in mind as you level up, its not just about your contribution, also politics kicks in too. Food for thought!
thank you 😊 I never loved software engineering but been here to achieve financial stability. My plan is to do my own gig once I have saved enough. So yeah leadership roles are not something I am looking for.
what pillar has 4-5 hours of work
Are you super smart to finish work in 4 hours or the quality of work is less than mediocre.
I feel working at amazon made me bit efficient but definitely I am not too smart. Work is not too hard nor to mediocre. Also, my manager is not micro managing like Amazon so somedays I work very less and compensate for it on weekends or other days. but on average I work 20-30 hrs a week
Which org do you work in?
You have to think longer term - when your initial grant expires you’ll take a significant pay cut if you don’t make up for it with promos

How does Peter Principle apply to you?
You realize E4 isn’t terminal. I would try to get e5 before chilling
Thank you for the suggestion!
