FB has a flat structure with everyone "Software Engineer". I always get recruiters emailing me for sde2/Senior position all the time. I am E6 at FB. Is better to update my title to "Staff Software Engineer" on LinkedIn? I am looking to move outside fb in the next 6 months.

    Do you even need to change it? If you are an e6 fb SWE can’t you just apply to any company and get a call back?

    It is fine. It is not real flat. They just dont display it. Netflix is really flat.

    At the end of the day there’s no such a title as Staff at fb. If you really want say (E6) after your software engineer title. If it’s just for switching job (not for showing to random folks on LinkedIn) just tell recruiter the level you want to interview and say you are e6 at fb (you have paper proof from comp anyway).
