FB recruiter said, based on my current role, I fit in between E5 and E6, I have the option to choose any position to interview. I am confused what should I choose, if I choose E6 the bar might be high and I might not get selected, or if I get selected, I might not be able to perform to the expectation of E6.
I am currently a principal engineer and my work spans across my team only, not at the org level, though some work might have impacts to org level too but mainly I am 100% working for my team only.
Based on this I have a few questions:
1) Is E5 a tech lead role or E6 is a tech lead role.
2) Does E6 role requires working across the org, or at the team level only?
3) How much % of time E6 spends on coding Vs E5
4) If you can share more details of each role that would be great, as in what is expected of E6 vs E5
5) Final question - should I interview for E5 or E6?
project size 23, direct team size 10, TC 400, yoe 17

do you want to earn 400k or 600k?
Latter being E6. I'm kinda in a similar position (not with FB, but in terms of my career) where I can interview E5 or E6. There's no way I would voluntary interview for E5 given the chance to interview for E6. if I interview for e5, get an offer and accept it'd always ask myself "what if" for the next 2-3 years at fb
I would be leaning for going all in on E6 but take that with a pinch of salt :)
