I am deciding between an E7 offer at #facebook and an L7 offer at another company ~ 20B valuation.

I wanted to understand from the community here how difficult is career growth at E7 at Facebook.

#facebook : 1.1 MM per year without refreshers
Other offer: 0.99 MM

TC: 750k
YOE: 15

    It's extremely difficult :)

    You'll basically need to ramp up (6 months to a year) and land 1-2 multiorg East West project for a reasonable E8 packet.

    Also depends on the group you join.

      Was that a typo? 10k+ L8 engineers?? For comparison Amazon has a little under 1000 L7 engineers from what i have heard

      I'm calling bullshit on Google having 10k+ people L8+ there's only 600 L8+ Eng across all tech ladders, and counting managers it's probably a couple thousand at most

    Depends! IC ladders are harder beyond E7 and requires you to show significant impact through a critical project across orgs. New initiatives are bit easy to navigate , mature ones are tuned to their limit.

      Thanks. Does that mean that senior ICs are encouraged to switch to management ladder for career growth?

      It’s not encouraged as such. But it’s like that. Ic growth paths are very limited . At my current company , we have very few L7 IC ( relatively ) and even fewer L8 ICs. L10s can be counted on finger tips! This is not the case with management. I think same is true for any company and it makes sense.
