Recently, I interviewed for E6, got message that I passed, but apparently one of the interviewers recommended E5, while everyone was okay for E6, so, they passed me for E5. Honestly, sounds better than joining as E6, and struggling to meet expectations on that level. Now in team matching phase for about a week and have had 3 matches so far all on mobile infra teams. Apparently, all of them are looking for someone to lead the team and start growing into E6. Anyone know how is mobile infra teams? How is wlb? They are drafting my offer because I said okay to one of the teams I talked to. Recruiter said they could get me a 2 more teams that were interested in my profile, but I said 3 good amount to make the decision for me. I have a competing offer that would pay 420K ish, fully remote, pretty chill wlb, as principal engineer. What can I expect potentially from "data-driven" compensation team? I'm only thinking of joining if they come close to 500K to go to office. Is that realistic? Current TC: 380K, 14 YOE on Android. #tech #meta #facebook #interview
Congrats on passing the interview. What was the interview like for e6? esp behavioral and systems designs
Not AP, but I just had mobile System Design interviews. They are exactly as described by "Andrey Tech" on YT. I found various resources, some which led me down the wrong path, and some the right path. In hindsight, Andrey Tech was definitely right path. Behavioural, typical questions about how you dealt with a team, project, someone you didn't get along with, team or project impact you've had in question form, etc.
What is the offer after negotiation?
Why not Reality Labs?
I matched with one of the teams in RL, but the tech stack + the problem they were working on did not make me too enthusiastic, specifically to ramp up. Would love to get back into team like this after I understand more of how things are at Meta though if I decide to join.
