Hi Blind Community,
I passed my phone interview @Meta and will have my virtual onsite interview in a few weeks for a CV/ML SWE position.
How is the weekly workload there, on avg? Or in other words: how is the WLB, is it more stressful or “good”?
TC: 92K (Germany, would correspond to 221K in Zurich due to COL factor)

Unfortunately, there is only one data point for ZH, but it’s given for an AR/VR position with 10 yoe, so that fits well.
Any metamates here who could tell us if this is realistic or complete BS?
sure you can move later, but some probably want to stay in Zurich. Not the worst place to live and get older, IMHO. But thats highly subjective, of course.
Also interested if its worth the stress. Here, its quite “normal”, always around 40h avg, overtime is written down and has a total max of approx. 100h (worker unions and stuff). I have the general feeling that for FAANG it’s not like this, so the TC must be quite high otherwise people wouldn’t do it. Correct me if I’m wrong.
