Amazon SDE 2 in Seattle or SDE 3 in Flipkart?
I have an offer from Flipkart as SDE 3 (I am negotiating for SDE 4 so no compensation details till now). I also have an offer from Amazon Seattle as L5 internal transfer with base comp as 160K. (TC around 185K), which one I should consider? YOE: 7
What TC are you getting at Flipkart?
Any inputs here?
Flipkart will offer you around 60 LPA. No point moving to Seattle.
If you get SDE4 move to Flipkart. Actually, moving to Seattle or in US general is not worth anymore just from income/savings point of view. If you want to experience a different life then you can.
Move to Seattle, if you want to move to US. Join Flipkart if you want career growth
If you want to save money and make money, join Flipkart. If you want to settled for a while (permenently almost impossible or u can continue in H1) in US then join Amazon.
One important thing to note. If you move to Seattle on L1 and by any chance you get PIPed then you will loose everything.. You cant even go outside of Amazon other than moving back to India.
SDE2 in Seattle with 185k TC??! Extremely low.
@lpoiuk this is with RSU vesting for this year only, is it still low? what is the normal range?
You said 185k is the TC (total compensation), which I assumed included any signing bonus as well. If so, then yes it's very low. For external hires of SDE2 (and 7 yoe), you're looking at at least 230k. If you don't get that number, then move outside.
