Offers from Facebook and Bloomberg

Bloomberg SSE (NY) - TC 235k Facebook E4 (NY) - TC 274.5k (2nd year onwards) Going through posts on Blind, I see that the work culture and work life balance at Facebook is pretty bad as compared to Bloomberg. Work life Balance is a bigger concern for me. Any inputs would be really helpful to decide between the two offers. Work Exp: 5 years Current TC: 110K

Facebook looks way better on a resume

He already has Teletracking tho

Blind is just going to vote for higher TC. Since you value work life balance, go with Bloomberg. Wlb there is amazing.

It’s not just about tc. Reputation also means a lot. A couple years at FB looks way better than Bloomberg

Cisco ghgfx Aug 25, 2021

If the numbers were reversed Blind will no doubt be voting Bloomberg.

You’ll learn more at bb, you’ll make more $$ and may have no life at fb

learn more at bloomberg? what is your reasoning?

Bloomberg tgr7o3 Aug 25, 2021

not sure i’d agree

Microsoft BosDK Aug 25, 2021

Your question itself has the answer. Hint - WLB

Bloomberg xFre86 Aug 25, 2021

FB, definitely more career and comp growth. You can always go to Bloomberg after 1-2 years at FB and get 300k+ comp along with the WLB.

If WLB is important to you, find a team that prioritizes WLB during team match at FB.

FB adds value to resume, probably stay for a year or so and move to bbg for better salary

Bloomberg bbiO37 Aug 26, 2021

😂

Is this after negotiation? Bloomberg has been matching faang offers this year

Bloomberg roffsk Aug 26, 2021

Bloomberg for WLB but growth here for IC is pretty slow due to lack of levels. I think if you value WLB still pick BBG but get them to bump up their numbers. BBG can pay 300k for good seniors. Heard they have been matching FB/G offers due to attrition.

What’s the highest they can go for entry level 2.5 YOE with competing offers from fb and amazon?

Cisco urhbt Aug 29, 2021

Hey OP, what did you end up going with?
