Got verbal offer confirmation for E4 (down leveled from E5) Facebook London as Backend SWE.
I am holding another offer from well-renowned mid sized profitable Indian startup planning to go IPO in US stock market very soon.
Due to my current personal life requirements, I would prefer decent work life balance . From career point of view, I would definitely prefer better work.

Following are my questions:
1. What are the chances of getting good work at Facebook London? By good work I mean designing, developing and maintaining backend features in and around distributed systems with big scale. I am confident enough that the work is good at the startup.
2. I will be moving with my spouse. Is standard E4 salary decent enough for two persons (assuming my spouse might not work at least in initial months in London) compared to what the startup has offered in India?
3. What are the teams at FB London with too much stress and have worst work life balance?
4. What are the numbers I can expect from FB? Having the other offer will help in negotiation?

Current TC: 53 LPA (lakhs per annum)
Pre-IPO startup offer: ~80 LPA (Base + JB + RSUs)
Facebook Offer: Yet to get numbers
YOE: 5

Update :
FB offer : 83k GBP+ 30k GBP sign on + 170k USD/4 + ~20k GBP relocation
