Facebook E4 (London) vs Salesforce SMTS (India)
Hey Folks,
I received two offers last week, both final (non-negotiable) and approaching deadline. Please help me choose the better one.
1) Facebook
Location: London, UK
Position: E4
TC: 85k £ Base + 10% Variable (on Base) + 180k $ stocks (over 4 years) + 15k £ JB (1 year only)
Pros:
Work can be exciting.
Good refreshers.
Internal transfer is easy. Not too difficult to move to US (As per other posts on blind)
Can get promoted quicker.
Good to have Meta/FB on my resume.
Cons:
Bad WLB.
Lower-level if we go by my YOE (Not sure if this is a con. I believe I will get some time to get accustomed to the fast-paced culture at FB as E4 instead of E5, since I have gotten quite lazy at MS)
2) Salesforce
Location: Bangalore/Hyderabad (India)
Position: SMTS
TC: ~77 Lakh INR (77.45k £)
47L Base + 15% Variable (on Base) + 90K $ stocks (over 4 years) + 6L JB (1 year only)
Pros:
Higher-level (as per levels.fyi).
Good WLB.
No need to relocate.
Cons:
Work might not be very exciting.
Low/no refreshers.
Difficult to transfer to other teams internally. Almost impossible to relocate outside India.
Slow Promo.
Politics.
Not as good a brand as FB (Not to boast, just for the sake of my resume, since I don't have a good company on mine yet).
Which one do you think is a better pick?
I'm very confused at this point.
PLEASE add your opinion and the reasoning behind it in the comments. It will be very helpful to me.
YOE: ~5.5
Title: L61
TC: 40 LPA
Location: Bangalore/Hyderabad

salesforce you can clear later also , fb is difficult to crack again.
chose fb op
from how long you are in microsoft ?
Comon op, wlb is cool in fb. 40-50hrs is common in both places.
Think about future and your roadmap to become architect. Don't ruin your career with mundane work.
Good luck
are FB tagged LC questions enough?
Also how did you prep for sys design
Facebook stock will go to moon after their meta version .
Facebook is strong tech company where you will learn a lot and grow .
if you like to coast with minimal work then chose salesforce.
For better work, tech stack , better quality life chose facbook.
Good luck
Once you become senior level, knowledge will help you become big architect of any company and your earning will be many fold in future.
Dont miss this opportunity , go to facebook without blink of thought.
Just one thing, SMTS is not a higher level for you. Internal promotions take 3-3.5 years to reach SMTS.
