Few other thoughts:
- A lot of tech companies hire to IC first even if you’ll likely switch over to the Manager track to prove out your chops internally first. However, you need to have clear expectations if that is the path you’re on rather than just being on the IC track, if that’s your goal.
Joining as a people manager off the bat is way less common than other industries.
Secondly: titles are much more deflated than in consulting/other industries - so a bit of that ego needs to be thrown out when in tech.

What would you set for yourself? What do you want? What excites and interests you? The only person who gets to decide what growth and advancement matters for you is you.
Sorry for the dumb question but what does IC stand for?
I thought it was internal consulting

I can't speak for Facebook specifically, but there *are* some highly placed IC roles in Big Tech that would be substantially higher than a consulting SM level, so there's no guarantee that this particular position would be a downgrade.
Interesting, thank you all !
FAANG rarely hires you at non IC roles
Good to know!
However; it seems to be indicated that they’ll match whatever is needed with no real cap.
