For those curious about whether people in fb fear getting PIPed and what is the cause for stress in our bi annual performance cycles (yes, we have one every half), I took screenshot of a survey we ran on blind asking precisely that (why does the performance make you stressed?).
As with all blind polls, this is very unscientific and probably suffers from a lot of biases, but that's the best we have...
Note that most people are stressed because they are expecting a promotion or high rating. About 1 in 4 are worried about getting a low rating and half of these fear PIP (roughly 12% of respondents).

I know plenty of booking employees who rejected FB offers (in fact I am one of them). The fact that you don't have the imagination to picture that anyone would reject a FB offer, just shows your intelligence level (or lack there of).
And s/he is right about Facebook not selected for smart people, because none of the problems during the interview require original thinking or problem solving.
Easy to see which one is more stressful but keeps you working hard and giving you rewards accordingly, and which one promotes tenureship.... and not meritocracy.
I don't doubt your TC potential. Not from levels.fyi but from many data points from sources I trust.
Other companies should run the same survey. Would be interesting to see results.
