I was planning to switch jobs mostly for higher TC.
Got an offer from Meta for E5 level.
Meta TC: 220/875/100
Averaging Sign-on for 4 yrs, TC: 496K
Was planning to take it, but then when I mentioned to Google. They gave a retention grant of 525k/4yr. With retention, Google's TC becomes 483k/yr.
So TC wise, Google and Meta are very close now and I don't see a point in switching anymore.
Google
Pros:
Good team and manager
Path to L6 in current team might be faster as I know the system
WLB
No immigration issues
Stable stock
Cons:
Generally pays lower than market. TC might be an issue after few years
Promo in G is generally hard. Esp L5 --> L6 might be a toughie
Meta
Pros:
Higher TC currently + TC will always be higher than G.
E5 --> E6 is relatively easier
Lot of friends and mentors in Meta.
Stock price at a discount
Cons:
Need to find good team with good manager.
Issues with perm (priority date is 2yrs away though).
WLB
Volatile Stock
Should I switch or stay at Google?
TC: 350K
Level: L5
YOE: 9
