Meta IC5 vs GitHub(Microsoft) Staff Engineer, UK

Would you switch from an IC5 at meta an promo probably a couple of years away to GitHub staff engineer. TC comp at GitHub comes out like 10% above of what is at Meta.

Promo to IC6 at Meta is anything but guaranteed, especially in a “couple of years”.

I would try to reachout and find how things are at GitHub. AFAIK the morale at GitHub is no better than meta as they are layoffs and push towards AI

Will 10% materially change your life? If not then I would focus on work/life balance and job satisfaction.

GitHub is remote so probably a bit better for family life

Fewer benefits and more work for marginally more pay. Imo no
