WLB vs TC
I have the prospect of moving to Google - waiting for details on an offer - but the thought of going from 21 to 15 days PTO is 🥺😳😩. My WLB at FB is great but my TC is shit. Would you take a bump in TC for less PTO/WLB? If so how much of a TC increase would it take for you? I know its a personal decision but curious how others think about it. TC 150 8 yoe
It's very likely you could move to Google for higher TC and have good WLB. Google doesn't need to know how much you make now.
Non eng?
Yep. 8 yoe includes time chillin in Europe making nothing
WLB over TC every time. For many years I only worked three weeks out of four because I worked overnight shifts. TC was about 55k and that was fine with me. Now I no longer have that WLB _and_ I have lower TC. I miss the WLB a lot more than I miss the extra money.
PTO is only a relatively small part of the WLB equation. The day-to-day is more important IMHO. How many paid holidays do you have?
15 days seem small, account for couple of "wfh" and it becomes 21:)
We have weekly wfh here.
Everything I’ve heard is that WLB is on average better at Google although depends on the teams. My WLB at Google has been great - I work very hard at work but not excessive hours and don’t work much from home...
150k for 8 yoe？ FB is known for bad wlb
I’m an anomaly in many ways
good wlb is very common here. like google, it varies by team.
