Meta Platforms I just signed my offer letter for Meta. The base salary is a 34% increase from current job. But, they had a much more aggressive commission than Meta. So for instance, my base was 79k, but my total comp was 160k. Did I make a mistake signing to Meta? lol

I don't think you made a mistake. Plus it's always nice to have a new challenge and environment. Nothing wrong with that. You could probably always go back to TikTok as long as you don't burn your bridge if you don't like it.

I really appreciate your insight and that you took the time to respond at all!

You are guaranteed a 34% + money. Plus meta stock (if you are being given) will probably have higher potential

TikTok’s status in the US is kinda iffy. If it gets sold, then who knows shat happens

Thank you for responding! this is helpful

Right now you have consistent guaranteed salary more than your last job, Meta stock, Meta on your resume and so many opportunities for growth. You made the right choice.

Paying people on commission is always a mistake.

Just be prepared for the layoff.
