Why? The comp is top of market, even with the stock award cuts.
"All of your energy and emotions 50-60 hours per week" is a thing you've made up; you can simply not do that. Most employees don't do that.
- lordofgibbons 2y ago> is a thing you've made up; you can simply not do that. Ironically, you made that up lol. I know a few people who have worked at Meta as SWEs. A close friend still works there as a PM. They've all been pretty open about the work culture at Meta.
- loeg 2y agoShrug. Your sample isn't representative.
- not_really 2y agoUh, it practically is dude
- kridsdale1 2y agoI worked there seven years. It is.
- pertymcpert 2y agolol clueless
- johnnyanmac 2y agoLife isn't all about money. Especially in this day and age. >"All of your energy and emotions 50-60 hours per week" is a thing you've made up If you really don't think companies aren't taking advantadge of this strict job market that is putting a lot more SWE's in their seats instead of jumping; I wish you the best at your current or future job.
- loeg 2y agoLife isn't wholly not about money either. Money is a tool that enables a lot of things. I don't think Meta is uniquely taking advantage of job market dynamics; I think if anything, it's one of the most generous employers around. You could disagree, I guess. I've certainly worked other places that paid a lot less and were no less stressful.
- johnnyanmac 2y ago>I think if anything, it's one of the most generous employers around. My secondhand experience with some colleagues would not agree. They weren't the worst, but they seem to have felt Meta was the most cut heavy at the turn of the decade. Which was interesting to hear. But sure, it was generally considered higher total comp than Google or Microsoft. If minmaxing money is all you care about, Meta is the way to go. Or was. >Life isn't wholly not about money either. Money is a tool that enables a lot of things. Yeah, hence work-life "balance". what are you working for if you spend all your days focused on money and not on life?
- loeg 2y agoWe seem to be talking past each other, sorry.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI guess so. I'm just saying that overwork isn't okay just because you're paid well. And "well it could be worse in non-tech" jobs isn't too reassuring.
