Got an offer from Facebook E4 software engineer (274 TC + joining bonus), and they've given me till the end of the month (can extend it to max two more days), which gives me about a week from today to respond to them. Meanwhile, I got a response from Google this Monday saying my final on-site went well and that they'll be moving to team matching stage now.
Now, the problem is there is no way Google process will be done by the coming week, and the recruiter said it can take about two weeks for team matching and consequent offer.
What do I do?
P.S. the TC from Facebook is for NYC

Current TC: 120,000
YoE: 3#software #engineering #swe

    test how strong your google feedback is. tell them about the fb offer and the deadline. say that you are going to have to accept it unless your process can be expedited. if your feedback is truly strong, they will haul ass as much as possible to get you an offer. if not or they are not able to in time, then just take fb.

    Google is bullshitting you. Get that FB offer in an email and share it with them. If you FB recruiter won't share it over email, you mail them and say is this correct? They'll have to say yes or no.

    Send it to Google as a screenshot and say, either match or better this at L4. Otherwise you lose me. I got an offer from Google without team match. It all depends on how much urgency you convey.

    Accept FB offer and also continue with the Goog process (try to expedite it). Later, if Goog offer is better than FB's, then renege FB.

      Or take advantage of FB sign on, delay google start date to a year after sign on. Profit?

    At the end of the day I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice. Have you told the google recruiter you have the FB offer in hand?

  • Congrats!! How was your interview experience at both? How was system design for L4? You mentioned you prepped one month. Just wondering what was your strategy? I am in preparation stage but not sure if prepared enough to start interviewing.

      Practiced basics of Tree, graphs, DP, strings and arrays. Practiced LC for these topics for about a month and a half and gave the interviews. Was lucky enough to get easy to medium questions with a few hard in the interviews.

      Also, gave Amazon and Spotify on-sites for practice, prior to FB and Google. Managed to get Amazon offer as well, but leaning towards FB or Google
