Got into my first FAANG role as a product DS at Meta, RSU is 160k/4yr. I thought it was pretty awesome coming from SAP… But I see some of the posts and comments on here and either (A) I suck at negotiating and should’ve asked for more (B) There’s a huge jump at IC5 or (C) people talk out their ass on here about TC. Probably an even mix 🤷♂️
Was your role just sql with testing hypotheses?
When did u join ? I thought hiring is frozen
November 21
What’s the rest of your package?
Ic5 is around 300 tc and equity is double of ic4 so yes ic5 makes a lot more
YOE ?
Tricky… operations analytics in the military. If you count military 7 years…if you don’t, then 2 years.
Low for IC4 DS in the Bay, your TC should be closer to 250 instead of under 200
Location?
SF CA
sounds low but DS is lower than SWE anyways specially it's not research or you don't have a phd.
