Should I jump to Meta L4 offer which is almost the same pay (with last month’s stock price) or stick around as L5 equivalent at eBay? HHNW 2.85M (10 years of experience) Current TC $335K (Work is 30H/week) Meta TC - 187K/585K(stock price at $370)/28K(bonus target) (TC $360K) + $70K sign on (I am expecting 40-45H/week) 2 young kids + Stay at home partner
Why tf would you leave?
1. That’s a L5 offer 2. How are you getting at stock price 370? Unless you’re joining in a week
Don't do this stupidity. You will have 1 - 2 yoe people at L4 competing with you
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t make this move unless you really really want more money and are willing to grind hard to get it. There’s a lot of us here at meta who are burnt out and wish we could be in your position
Btw what's break down of your NW?

Hey so as someone who went from a somewhat healthy WLB to faang for a bit then left to come back to a better WLB, I’d suggest considering staying. I also have two young kids who are seeing both sides of my current gig vs my last - they love that I’m happier and healthier and can spend more time with them without the stress. I still work my ass off here and I can have a bigger impact than I would at a faang right now. Once my kids get older I’d consider a more intense job but for now I’m really happy with where I’m at. My advice is don’t go chasing TC or a bigger company name unless it’s the role/work/team that is the real draw for you, but ymmv. Good luck and congrats on getting that offer!
Thanks and totally makes sense. Yeah my plan is to ride out this layoff wave and start looking for a level up sometime next year!
You have to be a complete idiot to leave a thing that working for you and your kids to work for a company that gives your kids body complex.
LOL. OP if you're remote, take another chill job and do both
You got a valid point G. @tesla unfortunately I am in person 2-3 days a week
