I got an offer for IC4 role at FB in early march and i pushed joining date to Sept to wait until stocks are vested in my current company. As the start date is approaching and my current company stocks are going crazy high makes me have second though whether i should join fb or not. And there isnt much difference in TC based on latest stock prices of both the companies. Anyone at FAANG can help me by providing more data points to make decision more logical instead of just going behind FB current brand value ... current TC- 160 TX( stocks 40k/year and i am very optimistic about its growth... stock price have potential to 2X - 3X folds in next two years whereas FB stock price have doubled in 5 years) FB TC -230 MPK ( excluding signon but including base, 10% target bonus and stocks 55k/year. - with elections this year and ongoing data scruitny .. it doesnt feel FB gonna have bright future ahead stocks wise) Note: I am happy at my current company both work and company culture wise. No complaints atall.

What’s gonna happen to TikTok?
You can sell your FB stock and buy whatever stock you think will perform better.
Fair enough!!! What if I don’t have solid reason to leave my current company and also remote on-boarding and ramp up at new company scares shit of me... Idk I feel engineers at FB are very competitive So it’s gonna take a year or more to get comfortable with work and team.

Started hiring L4s again?
Was it hard to defer your start date by 6 months? Or were they cool with that?
It was part of Comp negotiations. Asked them to pay the money I’m gonna lose at my current company stocks .. and they were ready to defer
Don’t leave yet, you are clearly happy at your current company.
I am in a similar boat. Amazon stocks have gone up much after I accepted the FB E4 offer. But I still want to join FB. I want the brand name. Career growth is faster in FB too. In general, FB treats employees better than Amazon. So the TC part is not bothering me much.
Not a good time to join them
Why?
Look at the news
There is some institutional money goin into cloudera atm for some reason. It will be gone soon. I would sell CLD by the end of the quarter.
Why do people say google lowballs when fb’s offers seem around the same or even lower?
This is for DE.
Ah makes sense
How do you like cloudflare? I really want to work there, and was thinking of applying soon
Your TC will increase with refreshers at FB But TC it’s not all and it’s a very personal choice( TX vs MPK and work culture )
Are you DE at FB ? And is TC revised on every Comp review? I guess it’s every six months ..
Joining soon as IC3. Stocks refreshers are given once a year. Promotions, base and bonus each 6 months
