Have a PM offer of around 210k that’s in the midwest but a cool spot. Think Austin-esque. Just received interviews from Facebook and DE Shaw for MP and NYC respectively. I have 3 yoe in PM and 6 years total. Realistically, what could I expect from FB and DE Shaw in terms of comp? I’m wondering if I should even bother if Comp isn’t significantly higher and Id have to study for FBs format again. Current offer has a pretty big chunk of stocks and the company outlook looks pretty good rn, plus team, manager, career growth all look very good.
Don't even bother. No one will pay you enough to offset CoL. You're living like a king, stay where you are
That’s what I thought. FB would evaluate me at e4? That tops out at 250-260 in MP. Wasn’t sure if I could actually get e5 based on yoe but that would make it very interesting.
210 in Low COL is pretty sweet. That being said, DE Shaw is tight knit and small and full of smart people. Facebook will always be there, but if I were you I'd at least interview at DE Shaw and see if you get an offer. Bezos's work at DE Shaw is what gave him the insights and cash to start Amazon, seems like a good place to spend some time at in your career.
Thanks. The DE Shaw role is for an internal tool, so I’m not sure how much exposure I’d have to the quant side. That being said how much do you think DE Shaw and FB could realistically go up to?
Your estimate of ~250 for fb seems accurate. No clue about DE Shaw unfortunately. I will say Facebook has very good refreshers so you should see your comp rise steadily over your first 4 years

PM interview from DE Shaw? Pretty sure they don’t hire PM. Quants, sure. Researchers, yes.
I have an interview, so yes they do hire.
Lol Auth - OP says they have an interview and you are trying to argue here
