Graduating Engineers To Facebook: Nice Package!

Recession? What recession? Assuming two anonymous responders to a Quora post are telling the truth, there's certainly no shortage of money for engineers joining Facebook straight out of school.

What recession? Assuming two anonymous responders to a Quora post are telling the truth, there’s certainly no shortage of money for engineers joining Facebook straight out of school.

Here’s the anonymous response to a Quora thread asking How much does Facebook pay a new grad software engineer:

I am graduating in the spring of 2012, and I was offered $100,000 in salary, a $50,000 signing bonus, $5,000 in relocation, and as many RSUs (restricted stock units) as necessary to be worth $120,000.

EDIT (in response to comments): The signing bonus is paid in its entirety before the start date (but it does have to be paid back if you don’t stay for at least a year).
