Should I leave Google for Meta (E4 to E4)?

I’m at Google right now (E4 backend dev), and I just got an offer from Meta. Same level, similar work, but with a bump in comp.


First year would be about 400k TC, then 340–350k after. I’ve heard a lot of red flags about Meta’s culture and layoffs though, which makes me hesitate. Google has a more relaxed culture and a great manager. That said, I’m also feeling a bit stuck and want to eventually move into ML or distributed systems.


Is it worth taking the risk?
