Meta vs Splunk

Dec 14, 2021 30 Comments

Got two remote product manager offers. These are negotiated offers.

Meta L4
TC: 260k

Splunk Senior PM
TC: 350k

Any insight on Splunk’s product culture? Lot more comp and feel like I can interview again for Meta in a couple of years for L5.

Would love any insight I should be considering on making my decision! :)

Current TC: 240k (100k of paper money)
YOE: 5 total / 3 PM

    +1 to above comments. Wouldn't join splunk until leadership settles in and stock reflects their growth they are talking about?

    Splunk is a shit storm right now. Not a good time to join. Look at the stock price. Many C levels have churned.

      People keep crying for every change. Splunk leadership and board of directors are trying their best to make the Splunk best again. CEO transition was needed as he couldn’t take the company any further. There are a lot of changes happening inside but everything is to make Splunk better. You will see and hear more changes often in Splunk as it’s going through many changes. Don’t care all these. I am sure, you will do good. After all, you get a good pay, work here for 1-2 years and then jump to another one

  • Splunk is not a place I’d like to PM. But that’s a personal opinion.

    • It’s not a product I’d love to work on. It’s B2B Dev facing product, not sure how much creativity I can apply here. Again personal opinion.

      B2B dev PM here, there’s a lot of creativity you can apply. Less front end stuff (though honestly with Splunk, there’s plenty of front end design opportunities) but plenty of interesting problems to solve.

    Congratulations! Unless the team at Meta is really what you’re looking for, you should take Splunk and reapply for Meta L5 at a later time like the person above me said. It will probably be faster than a promotion and your salary will also be higher.

    That's a great offer for non tech. Congrats. Are you still at FlexPort. How is the culture there?

      Thanks! And yeah at Flexport and culture is actually pretty good. Lots of smart people and decent vision on what’s to come in the future. Everyone has opportunity to make a big impact
