if you’re the type getting ee, see, superb and getting fast promos, tired of watching the rest and vest squad ride their cme’s and slowing you and the team down, tired of knowing tenure at level > productivity at level then you might be better off at fb.
there is more stress. no one is going to say there’s less. i just think the rewards outweighs the modest increase in stress i feel. fb pays for performance so much more so than google from what i’ve heard and seen.
i worked at g, now at f. i myself haven’t been here long enough to really move, but my college friends have moved very quickly, much more quickly than would be possible at G. like l3 to l6 in 3.5 or 4 years is not unheard of at f, but i’d never heard of something like that at g.
Personally it's more stressful bc not only do they expect you to "have impact" (whatever that means), but they expect you to perform while working on a shit codebase and coming up with hacky solutions.
