How does Ebay comp compare to FAANG?

Recruiter reached out from Ebay and I’m trying to factor if I should go through all the rounds of interviews with Ebay or just focus on FAANG.

(Ultimate goal is to max TC and reach $750k-$1M as fast as possible so I can be FIRE abroad.)

      You can FIRE on 750K anywhere except the US if you know how to manage your money and live a simple lifestyle.

      Part of the responsibility of going on FIRE is to take care of your health ( since you are in complete control and don’t have a job to stress you out ) so I presume FIRE folks are very conscious of their health. If not, they should be.

      So I wouldn’t expect someone on FIRE to be easily vulnerable to cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

      There are many places in the US you can FIRE around 750-1M. Especially if you are single.

    eBay is competitive. I have been at both Google and eBay and found the pay fairly similar. Google's probably a bit higher for the same level on average, but the ranges overlap substantially. The chart on levels.fyi does a good job equating between eBay and Google on levels in terms of scope/comp.

      Awesome! Didn’t realize levels.fyi had Ebay data. Thanks! — Do you have any recommendations on which office to go to max comp or career prospects? Recruiter mentioned that there are openings at San Jose and San Fran

      San Jose is the HQ, so there's more opportunity there. How great a difference depends heavily on specific roles, teams, and your level. If you're looking at something like an MTS2 role then that's doable just about anyway. If you're looking for director openings then you'll need to and a team that has a need there, and you'll want to pick something you believe you can make successful if you want to grow beyond that. I was Sr. MTS in a remote office, and obtaining an offer at Principal MTS level was more than just growth as an engineer. It required actively finding a group with a need and willing to carve out a space for me.

    When you reach $1 mill you will realize how little it is. Passed that number long time ago and nowhere near ready to retire.
