What's the deal? Is Facebook building a SaaS product to compete with the likes of aws or azure? These guys are both long term o365 leaders in PM and development domains. @facebook
And responsibilities. FB came with not just a higher comp but impactful work on products growing quickly with a ton of potential projects. Old company was stagnating so you had to wait for people to leave to get promos and projects.
Rajeev and Vivek?
Yup
why do you insist on dragging race into every discussion?
We miss Vivek. Rajeev not so much.
I heard something similar about this Rajeev, that he is more an ass kisser and don't do any real work. My friend was surprised that FB hire him.
And don't forget Microsoft only cares about one product now and it's not Office
Office was pretty much static till about 3 years back. Now its a growing business with lots of newer products gaining traction in the market. However, these enterprise businesses are not sexy unlike consumer oriented products. :-)
Yet it's loosing market share...
Typically partner+ moves can often be attributed to the new company promising a free hand and lots of resources for a new initiative in conjunction with some sort of ceiling at the current role.
Wonder what Facebook is trying to build.
At DE and CVP level, the moves are not for money,, rather for new opportunities and growth potential. For what it's worth, MS CVPs are paid more than their counterparts at other tech companies.
^ this...
Ok, so rank-and-file are paid less. C-level execs are paid less (just google SEC filings for top level execs). But DEs and CVPs are paid more. Sure. Even if they are, I highly doubt that you losers are any of them. So, grab shovels and go back to your work. Sorry, go and work on your "scope" and "influence".
Finally they left - it's good for Microsoft

Quitting this Slave life
There's a huge comp difference between Microsoft and Facebook unfortunately. Seeing your friend do a successful move into a good team with a huge comp package will get you to reconsider your comfortable job. It did for me.
They need to find more talent outside of the west coast and pay the same in Texas. ☺️
But OP is talking about DEs. They already are highly paid.
