Thank you for this! I’m coming up on 10 years at Meta too and excited for Recharge #2
Question : How do you think about contributing backdoor 401k (beyond the 23k) vs investing directly in index funds in the stock market to access money for early retirement at say age 51?
Also curious about this! One thing I haven't seen listed elsewhere, despite there being so much detail on everything else. Just started there myself last year and it's my first time in tech. It's interesting that total comp actually seems to drop off after the first 4 years, if equity from the initial grant is so much higher, unless I'm missing something.
Hi - very helpful! Could you provide an actual example of how the bonus formula works? Not sure if each x actually multiplies each % or its really (% x base) + (% x base) etc.
Andre - it's not "Currently" but "Consistently" Met Expectations (CME)
That sounds much less menacing! Fixed. I am from the "Meets All" before times.
2025 company multiplier is 125%
Andre, small correction. 2023 bonus multiplier was 150 not 200
Fixed, ty! I didn't get to enjoy that one.

What was your initial equity grant, and what were your refreshers looking like?

Great write up Andre! Thanks for sharing this detail.
I will include this in Thursday's blog for our readers as some may be interested in this content when they're getting job offers.

Yeah, it just multiplies straight across.
Example: $200k in eligible earnings, IC5 which means 15% bonus. Exceeds Expectations means 125%. Company multiplier of 100%
200,000 x .15 x 1.25 x 1.0 = $37,500
