I have a friend who recently got an offer from Amazon, SDE1, yoe 2.5. originally interviewed for SDE2, but interview feedback was: good tech skills(leetcode thing), but not enough LP. He can choose either Boston or Seattle. Any TC recommendation? HR said he can expect high bracket for SDE1 current competing offer: Bloomberg SWE(not ML role), verbal offer -base 150, signon 25, bonus 20 NLP research developer in NYC(1bill rev/yr) -base 150, bonus: depends, -HR is willing to negotiate, but no concrete number Amazon Alexa org, -no device, modeling team - no number yet, - comment: they think he has great modeling skill and will do some optimization, modeling although title is SWE Thanks!
I'd be worried about the "modeling although title is SWE" thing. I've seen them lure a lot of devs in telling them they'll get to do modeling and they don't.
Thanks! What do you think about TC ? any advice?
