I'm still negotiating my comp at either places, but I expect DB to have ~10-15% higher comp (pre-ipo paper money). I expect FB comp will be about ~650k range based on few friends who joined recently at same level. Currently Sr Manager with 580K TC (cliffing to 450k in one year), 18 yoe.
I'm looking for advice on which one to join. FB is well-established and M2 there carries good weight, however it is a cut throat environment with high stress and relatively low growth (both stock price and title wise). DataBricks is a smaller, late-stage startup with potential (no guarantees, of course) 2-3x payout if the IPO is successful; plus growth in title may be faster due to it's smaller size.
Google down-leveled me to L6 (equivalent to FB M1), so I'm not considering that one and haven't even bothered to negotiate TC since going to line manager there is not interesting to me.
Still awaiting result from Confluent. DB seem like a better play since Confluent has already filed S1.
Thoughts on what should I consider between FB and DataBricks? I'm not creating a poll, I want to hear your thoughts instead of a binary response.
Want to see the real deal?

My understanding is 300k base, 25% target bonus. To get to 925k, that would mean getting 550k per year stocks, or $2.2 million stocks at join time?!
AE can be used to offset a few pay disparities for high performers. Like if someone is nearing 4th year cliff. Or new hires are being paid more due to market conditions. Or the person is outperforming greatly but not immediately eligible for promotion for some reason.
