Do you work at Meta? Get the resources you need and expert insights from financial professionals who specialize in helping Meta employees make the most of their compensation package and benefits.

Whether you’re a new Meta employee or you’ve moved up the ranks into a management or executive leadership role over a multi-year career, it’s important to make smart money moves with your income and employee benefits. For example:

✅ Do you know the right moves to make to get the greatest value from the Meta benefits available to you?

✅If you’re thinking about leaving Meta for another job or planning to retire from the company in a few years, are you taking the right steps today to ensure you will receive all of the compensation and benefits that you’ve earned?

Get the Most Value from Your Meta Benefits and Compensation Package

Throughout the year, Meta provides its employees and executives with updates about their benefits ranging from health insurance and health savings plans to retirement plans like a 401(k), deferred compensation plans, and stock options. While the company offers many useful resources and access to knowledgeable staff who can assist with questions, you’ll also find financial professionals not affiliated with Meta who specialize in helping Meta employees make the most of their income and benefits.

Whether you work in the Meta headquarters in Menlo Park, California, another office location around the country, or remotely from home, you may have questions about your compensation package and benefits better suited for a financial professional who can offer unbiased advice and guidance.

For example, sensitive topics like discussing the steps you should take before quitting your job at Meta to work elsewhere, protecting yourself in advance of a corporate layoff, or deciding when you should plan to retire are all conversations that may be more comfortable with a trusted financial advisor.

Should you hire a Meta specialist financial advisor or an advisor close to home?

You’ll likely find dozens of nearby financial advisors well-suited to help you reach your money goals with a personalized plan. But it may be more difficult to find a financial advisor who specializes in serving Meta employees.

Fortunately, many financial advisors offer virtual services so you can meet online no matter where you (or they) live.

This means you can choose to hire a specialist financial advisor who lives hundreds of miles away if you decide their knowledge and experience working with Meta employees is a better fit to help with your unique needs.

💡 In the Q&A below, you’ll gain insights from financial advisors who work with Meta employees to help them make smart decisions to get the most value from their compensation and benefits, reduce their money stress, and prepare for a comfortable retirement.

Q&A: Financial Planning Tips for Meta Employees & Executives

Answers to Employee Questions with Bill Promes

Bill Promes is a financial advisor based in Mill Valley, California who specializes in offering financial planning services to Meta employees. Bill helps his clients get the most value from their Meta benefits and compensation package so they can enjoy life and feel confident about their financial future.

Q: When you first speak with a Meta employee, what questions do you like to ask to better understand their unique circumstances and determine how you can best help them achieve their goals?

Bill: First, I like to get to know them as a person. Learning about someone’s family, values and dreams help to connect the dots between what we’re doing today from a planning perspective to their long-term vision in life. By getting to know my clients, I can anticipate their needs as the planning relationship develops.

Q: For Meta employees who have managed their finances on their own to this point, what would you suggest they consider to help them decide if they should begin working with a financial advisor at this stage in their lives?

Bill: I would ask them if they could quantify where they are at on their financial journey.

If they are looking forward to an early retirement, do they have a savings goal associated with that number? Many people do well on their own, until they get closer to what they think is their goal, and then need to move from a sketch of the future to a detailed blueprint.

Maybe it’s not early retirement, but purchasing a home and starting a family. If there are doubts about what you need to achieve your goal, it might be time to work with a planner.

Q: Is there anything that comes up frequently in your initial meeting with Meta employees that surprises you?

Bill: Misunderstandings of taxes in relation to RSUs comes up frequently. It’s definitely not unique to Meta employees, I see it elsewhere. The US tax code is not known for its simplicity, so I always feel good when I can help an employee truly understand the tax implications of their RSUs and how best to leverage this wonderful benefit.

Q: For highly compensated Meta employees and executives, are there any special benefits you believe it’s important to take into consideration when preparing their financial plan?

Bill: Meta’s 401(k) plan has the capability for a Mega Backdoor Roth. That’s an amazing benefit for savers who can afford to set aside extra money to take advantage of that benefit. It’s definitely not for everyone, but for high earners who are looking to maximize their savings, it’s a great option.
