Google: $320k TC
L4

Facebook: $322k TC

Team matched with Google team that I’m lukewarm about. I’m curious about the prospect of matching with a more interesting team during Meta’s Bootcamp.

Criteria: compensation, work life balance, team/product interest, career growth, reputation

TC: $220k

    Meta - to grow into E5. What’s your product interest? There are teams with better WLB at Meta so you can get both depending on that.

    Google - peace of mind maybe. A friend left recently because he felt stalled so not sure if your team can promise that.

    Reputation - depends on who you talk to or what your circle is up to.

      You can ask them:

      1. What problems are they solving?
      2. What kind of SEVs they had recently?
      3. What is their project’s impact on Meta if a SEV happens?

      You ask 1 to know if you’re interested in their work.
      2 for understanding their operational burden.
      3 for understanding the importance of a team in the org or Meta.

      You would find a balance between these 3. Usually internal teams (where your product is used by other engineers) have better WLB. You likely won’t be pinged after hours, or these issues can hold on through the night.

    Both are probably good choices. Been at FB for a year now with a great team and great WLB

  • Can you give a breakdown? Just want to know what things you're including when calculating TC.
