My onsite at FB London is scheduled in a couple of weeks time. I'm wondering which other companies can match or exceed FB's offers so that I don't get lowballed. Based on my research Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Spotify, Bloomberg and most startups don't pay as much as FB. Jane Street, Two Sigma, Citadel, Jump Trading etc. pay much more, but are also a lot harder to get in.
What about Apple, Snap, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, Tiktok? Do mention any other high paying companies you know of.

    If you have 70L in India , why would you take even 120k pounds in London as offer , you would massivly downgrade your savings

    I hope you are taking a note on Tax structures in UK as well as COL
    70LPA gets you approx 5l/month in inr and 120k pounds gives you like 6.5l/m , and cost of living is easily 3x , does not make any sense why would you move

      So basically your RSUs are only worth less than 50% of their face value. As you earn more and move up the tax brackets, almost 60% of it will be taxed. It is quite disheartening.

      But correct me if I’m wrong. I only know what I’ve read online, as I don’t get RSUs (in finance now)

      @zebb also your income is at the perfect level to save on tax by contributing to a pension. Do take note that the tax free allowance of 12.5k is reduced by 1 pound every 2 pounds earned over 100k. That causes a marginal tax rate of 60% on every pound earned over 100k, because you’re suddenly taking pounds that we’re never taxed and taxing them, and then also taking the new pound earned and taxing that. This stops at 125k when you no longer have any tax free allowance.

      Add the Employers NI for RSUs and your RSUs can be taxed up to 67%. Read the article, it breaks it down for you.

      Contributing to a pension means that that money isn’t taxed and your taxable income drops by that much. So if you’re currently at 123k, contribute 23k to pension if you can so your taxable income is 100k. That will save you from a high marginal rate of taxation.

      Do up an excel sheet if you must. PM me for more info.

  • Palantir also might. Other than that, I believe only those you mentioned. Some very specific/teams position in tier 1 banks might also complete.
