Hi blind fam 👋
I recently got several offers. I don’t have specific numbers but range. I’ll update the number once I get them.

Snap maybe 450k +
FB 370 - 430k
G not sure if they will match without screenshot
SQ 360 - 380 k

Which one do you think I should choose? I’m in LA area btw. Current team is Amazon music.

TC wise - snap will beat everyone else. Prestige wise - maybe G or F since they’re famous
I actually like square a lot. The teams I talked to are all in the capital org.

Please list your reasons if you can :)

      "Would rather chase experience instead of money". So why are you at Disney where you're chasing neither?

      Who talks about Disney these days other than: they're fucking over their people yet again

    Before blindly choosing Snap, consider that their refreshers don’t stack. FB has a wider moat and their stock has honestly more upside. That being said expect some “correction” to your TC soon as all these companies are at ATH. Blinders vote out of their asses without thinking about things like stacking refreshers, bonuses, multipliers etc. they just see the highest number and vote for that.

    Snap L5 can pay $550k+
    Recently joined with 6 YOE

    Refreshers don’t stack but in 2-3 years you can try for FB/G L6

    Snap L5 is not an easy role though. More emphasis on design and Ops than actual coding. Coding is more of code reviews and building some features from scratch maybe 1-2 times a quarter.

      Don’t have much info on that. Maybe someone from Snap who’s been there for more than an year would have better WLB. In general at Snap there’s no WLB on Infra teams is what I’ve heard. But not as bad as Amazon or Facebook.

      Almost all L5s I’ve interacted with code a lot, like 80%. YMMV

  • Snap has most room for growth. They are killing it.
