Trying to decide between FB and Quizlet new grad analytics role. everyone is telling me that facebook is the right decision for launching my career but im not sure. i dont want to just feed into the higher TC. would appreicate any insights. FB: Data Science, Analytics 115 base 20 signing 80 stock QZ: Data Analyst 115 base 15 signing 4500 options Also worth noting FB covers relocation. other things to note, fb is in menlo park while qz is in SF itself which i prefer. i will be living in SF regardless but shitty commute for fb. however down the line i want to move to NY which fb can allow me to do.
Quizlet. Very comparable and if for whatever reason the options don’t work out, you’re out a small amount of FB stock. You’ll learn more at a smaller org.
Plus being in SF is WAY better
Fb you can easily pivot anywhere else. Quizlet not so much
FB easy choice. Move to SF/NYC when you’re 24.
Isn’t salesforce better ?
Not if ur offer is only in Indianapolis lmao
Quizlet? Um 😐 if you try to interview in a couple of years chances are the interviewer won’t even know what that is. Fb all the way. You shouldn’t even need to blink.
As a Quizleter I can say that the data team is very strong, has great managers and solving some very interesting problems. Data analysts and data scientists get a ton of respect internally. My 2cents - at FB you'll be one of a dozen junior data science people working on a narrow problem within a team. Quizlet, as a much smaller company with a ton of green field problems will give you real ownership and expect results. Go to FB if you'd like to rest, vest and get that name on the resume. Come to Quizlet to get real world experience and ownership.
^ sounds too biased to me. I have never heard anyone who can continually rest and vest at FB. I think you're thinking of Google. Anyway, OP as someone who used to work at a small company then transitioned to Amazon, I'd say go with FB. You can always go back to Quizlet later. The scale at which FB operates can make most (if not all) "narrow" problems interesting.
Regarding "real ownership and expect results", it depends on the company and the team. Everyone expects results so that isn't a ding to FB or a plus to Quizlet. I have more ownership of my work now at Amazon than I did when I was one of the first 10 engineers at a startup. Not saying FB is like Amazon but the often repeated narrative of "you don't have real ownership at big tech firms" is simply false.
Can I pm with some questions?
Can I dm?
Fb. Get it on your resume it’ll open more doors down the line.
