Got SWE offers from these 2 companies.

Both are in the Seattle area.

Facebook (E5)
Base: 203K (+ expected 15% bonus for meets expectations)
Stocks: 637K (over 4 years, without a cliff, so 25% every year)
Sign-on Bonus: 95K
TC 1st year: $487K (with bonus included)
TC over 4 years: $1,665,800

TikTok (2-2)
Base: 240K (+ expected 25% bonus for meets expectations)
RSUs: 3000 (with a value of $195 pre-IPO, and a vesting schedule of 4 years: 15%, 25%, 35% and 25% and a 1 year cliff)
Sign-on bonus: 100K
TC 1st year: $487.5K
TC over 4 years: $1,885,000

I like Facebook because is a FAANG company and I think, even with the bad press, is more stable than TikTok

On the other hand, TikTok is pre-IPO, so the stock value could go up, but thw WLB seems to suck there.

What would you choose and why?

Current TC: 200K
YoE: 5

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback. After giving it some thought, I have decided to accept Facebook and so excited to join!
