At this point I don’t understand what’s being argued about. Are you saying you have anecdotes that this happens? Yeah, probably. I have some, too.
Are you saying the median total comp for a 7-year total experience Facebook engineer is $1m? If so, what’s your source? (Or what are you claiming? The top decile? The top quartile? Etc.)
- tehlike 5y agoI think there are more than a few anectodes. This is not true for google but fb promotes engineers really fast from 3-5 and 6. 3-5 if you don't get promoted after a year and a half or something they mark your packet expectation is you go from 3-5 very quick on average and even faster at the tail. I did 3-7 in 6 years at Google and it was the fastest in the larger org with >500 people. You can do 4.5 at fb easy. And yes at fb 7 years would rack lots of engineers 1+ m, even assuming modest gains. If you don't believe it, it's your choice but not all companies treat employees as average. Google optimizes for average, fb rewards high performers...
- md_ 5y agoLike I said, it's not a quantifiable statement, so I don't believe it or not believe it. If you're saying that FB promotes people faster, yes, I can believe that--younger companies generally tend to. I am quite skeptical that the median time for a new-grad hire to get to L7 at FB is 7 years or fewer, but I guess this is something that we could answer with some weekend scraping of LinkedIn. ;)
- tehlike 5y agoYou can't, not for facebook - everyone has the same title for ICs.
