Hi all, Narrowed down all my offers to these 2. Both remote in lcol. Both in decent teams. Got underleveled by Datadog, but they really did their best and pushed the numbers for the senior level. Really like Datadog skip and manager, and the company seems to have a much healthier perf/promo process (terrified by Meta impact craze), but 100k difference is quite significant.
Show off
Meta does full remote offers ? I would like to relocate to MCOL with highest remote offer
By approval only, and the selection of teams is pretty limited - but yes, they do.
OP, did you bring that up during team match? I am currently interviewing but the recruiter says remote is ruled out and I *have* to relocate to Bay Area. If you don't mind, I'd love to DM you and get some more details on that.
Mind sharing how your IC6 interview at Meta was?
Meta TC has gone down ? I would expect much more for IC6
LCOL Though it impacts only base
Understand that getting laid off at Facebook is totally a possibility. Plus the bad work life balance. Datadog is a great company, but my primary concern is around competition with Prometheus/grafana. I would choose Datadog for the nicer people and better wlb.
The difference is 100k - taxes. Its probably not enough to work for genocide enablers.
Dg stock has some upside. Expect meta stock to tumble and your prime stock today will fail. But I syill think meta is good if you are given ic6. A whole different kind of challenge. Promoting to ic6 at DD is hard.

What next?
Read the reviews here on datadog, people complain about it there too. Which interview was harder?
Coding and system design were both pretty easy, though I've got the impression that Datadog interviewers were a bit less experienced (and E4 did at least one coding round, which is interesting). Behavioral - no comparison, Meta was on the next level. Datadog has this weird project deep dive round, which doesn't give much signal on its own, but add to this unengaged interviewer - and the round is pretty dull. Meta's beh round was done by a very experienced person, and it was brutal - they poked everything, and I used all of my prepared stories. But I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I feel like they were able to get quite a bit of healthy signal (unlike Datadog)
If the DataDog interviewer sounded dejected then that tracks because we have to do so many interviews per week..
