AWS to Oracle SaaS?

Get an opportunity to move to a SaaS team at Oracle. TC 220k. I’ve heard there are not many young people working there and I am 28. SaaS seems like a profitable area at Oracle though. Should I make the move?

Doesn’t matter. If you go out of Amazon in good terms, probably they will hire you back if Oracle doesn’t work out.

With no interview?

Easier process, I have seen a lot of people coming back. Not sure about the actual process.

Oracle is not a good place to go. They don't have a proper cloud strategy and they've been downsizing. Career wise I don't think it's a good move. Why not MS or GCP? I have colleagues who regretted moving to Oracle

Have both offers: MS TC 100k less; gcp 50k less.. so chose Oracle

What's your level? L5 or 6? 220 doesn't seem that high these days if you're going there. You can jump ship and come back to AWS for higher TC / level before 1 year

You will get bored to death in SaaS.

Enjoy life with extra tc?

Oracle cmfmkrri Jun 23, 2019

Yes TC never high enough so don't leave it on the table

Oracle is big NO , don’t look at the TC. Focus on brand n role.

TC pays the bills better than brand and role

SaaS pays more than OCI??!

Amazon Lageeeh Jun 23, 2019

Why not? SaaS is O’s revenue generator

Oracle cmfmkrri Jun 23, 2019

Saas is not OCI?

I think take the salary bump..if Oracle doesn’t work out you can always leave the ship.
