This article seems both inaccurate and unfair. In my job hunt over the last 5 months I have been unable to get offers above 150k. Meta offered me 270k. Yeah that's below what levels.fyi says. So what? I asked about various amendments to the offer, like a starting bonus or compensation for missing January's RSU pricing, and my recruiter gave me zero BS, she just said they couldn't do it without a competing offer. (And all of my competing offers were roughly half of Meta's, so they would only undermine my effort) I spent 1 week in team matching before being given an hiring manager interview. He passed on me, and then about 4 days later my recruiter said they were now doing hiring "war rooms" and another manager had approved to hire me without a matching interview. Yes there was a 5 business day ultimatum, but again, this is a job offering nearly double the current market rate. I had a great experience with Meta and I would recommend it to anyone (just based on the interviewing/recruiting/comp aspects, naturally I haven't started working there yet)
