I have an offer from Facebook as a project manager... base pay 135k, 120k in equity and 20k sign on bonus. After 10 years of Consulting I am really trying to figure out if I am selling myself short

With 10 yrs ex you should be shooting for something of base 160+ and 200+ initial equity grant

It’s not low for a Project Manager but you should realize exactly what a project manager is. It’s a super PMO role and no ownership over anything. There’s no career advancement, since you don’t get P&L experience.

You can get better exits outside of Project Manager - look at BizOps, SalesOps, Product, Marketing.

Manager makes like $140-160K base + $200K stock over 4 years with 10 years experience in those fields.

Is that in the tier 1 offices eg NYC it Menlo Park?
Is the PM role in tech or in business?
I know FB doesn’t have senior manager roles.
What is the vesting period for equity?
Either way, it sounds like a low ball offer.
You’d be taking a pay cut and the experience or work sounds more detail then thought leadership.

M5 ...I think the role matters a lot. There are many many layers to climb uphill and being an individual contributor you have to do all the work yourself( which is fine). My career aspirations coming in as a big 4 SM makes me strive for ownership and leadership roles. FB doesn’t really care for your previous pedigree. If you are able to get the opportunity to interview you have a fair chance . interviewed with Microsoft, Uber , amazon and FB

I don’t understand how Facebook is not a step up from Big 4. Isnt it For MBB rejects and third tier school grads? Working for any of the AFGM i would have thought holds a lot more cache than doing grunt work at the Big 4.

I’m a second year SM ... I spoke to a director and she told me it’s a senior IC role ... some comfort there. Pay is still low. Worried that if I don’t move now I will have a worse uphill climb in a few years

HR is very tight lipped on levels. Any input is much appreciated!! Dilemma on if I applied for a position that is for much less experienced folks

Vesting for me was 4 years I think that is standard

That’s the thing ... I don’t want to leave a big 4 SM position and move to Austin for an “adequate” offer..... both in terms of role and pay. The work seems interesting enough though ..

Take it

Acn1 care to elaborate on why?

Not yet .... leaning towards not taking it.

I was offered only 35k RSP😡

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.
