Is this base salary? What is your profile? 10 years of exp. at FB? Individual Contributor? Are you specialized in AI or something else?

  > Individual Contributor? Would you mind explaining what this is? You've mentioned that twice in this thread and it's something I've never heard before.

    It roughly means 'not a manager'

    an individual Contributor is an employee who doesn't have any direct reports.
    • mwpmaybe 10y ago
      A manager-level employee.
      • bsvalley 10y ago
        the opposite. No one reports to that employee. (my previous message was confusing sorry).
        • mwpmaybe 10y ago
          No. An associate-level employee without any direct reports is just an employee. A manager- or director-level employee without any direct reports is an individual contributor. I wanted to clarify the distinction. If that's still confusing (for whomever), s/level/pay grade/g. Source: Former IC and Senior Manager at a Fortune 100-ish corp.

    An individual contributor is just someone who doesn't directly manage other people. I think you're supposed to use it to refer to people who are evaluated by their own work output as opposed to measuring the output of a team (even though I think for senior engineers it's totally valid to evaluate whether they're boosting the team and nudging them towards better solutions).

      Isn't that just a 'regular employee'? Maybe I'm missing something here (or differences in work culture from US to AUS) but since when isn't everyone evaluated by their own work output?
