Majority of FB IT support used to be outsourced to Datacom (not sure about now). For big corporates with their own IT department, their pay are usually not as good as IT integration company, as IT is only a supporting function of the company's business (i.e. they don't make money out of IT people). If you want to learn and earn more, you will be better off working for an integration company that sell IT as a service. You will have better career opportunities as well as exposure to more interesting technologies.作者: s0000s 时间: 2011-5-29 13:06:46
if i were you, i will decide based on the package. If FB's total remuneration package is at least 10k more than what you are on, then why not. If the pay is only marginally better than your current package, then i will probably think twice. Seriously, working for a non IT company doing support, after a while your brain will become numb, it's probably a more relax environment, but slowly u will lose all your skill, as you get less opportunity to deal with interesting project work, things are usually more static, and u don;t get to work with people with similar mind/better skill as much.
Another factor to take into account is, what phase of your career are you in. If you are starting out or are still trying to gain more experience/skill, you will be better off working for an IT company as skill+experience = bargaining power in the future. If you have been in IT for a reasonable period of time, and you are married and are thinking of having kid, then may be good pay + stability + relax environment is the way to go, as you will get so much more time doing your own thing.
Either way, good luck to you.作者: fhtgl 时间: 2011-5-29 16:27:52
BTW, I am 100% agreed with what 117WIK said, but hope a chinese team leader could drive the team more dynamic and challeging.作者: variable 时间: 2011-5-29 16:40:52
澄清/ 更正下楼上几位的一些认识。FB的network/ system还是outsource给Datacom。ISG是Information Service Group，我以前在Datacom的时候一直都认为那个team是FB的IT部门，ISG的头头是洋人。那个中国人做team lead的是Fletcher Construction - IT，不是ISG.
