Anecdotal, but I've gotten three recruiting emails from them now for joining their iOS team. I got on a call and confirmed they were offering FAANG++ comp but with the expectation of in-office 50h+ (realistically more).

I don't have that dog in me anymore, but there are plenty of engineers who do and will happily work those hours for 500k USD.

500k isn't FAANG++, it's standard FAANG comp

Should have been more clear, this was 500k for an E4 level role, you're correct that senior/staff at Meta and G are definitely making more.

wow.

If you can share: were these 500k cash or cash +rsu?

I have a friend who joined there with 2 YoE, and got fired in 3 months. He was paid 700k cash + 700k RSU

So in the end did he get anything? I dont know how these things work but did he just walk away with ~50k in pre tax income and 0 for RSU or did Musk pull a Twitter and not even pay him for those months?

IIRC it was cash, but I'm sure others can confirm.
