Had an onsite at both these companies in different locations. Expecting an offer from both. Yoe: 2 Current Tc: 120k Current Location: NYC I wanted to avoid relocating since I am pretty comfortable with NYC and all other cities are alien places to me. But considering an opportunity like Amazon I am still in dilemma as to relocation is worth it or grabbing a NYC offer is better? Any experts who have ever faced a similar situation please guide! Thanks!
Amazon has NYC offices. You can ask to move your offer. I got an offer in seattle and got it moved to the bay area.
Recruiter has told me this is specifically for Seattle team only:((
I would wait until after the offer has been received before asking. Recruiters usually don't like to do this because interviews are team specific but if you have a competing offer and you say that location is a deciding factor, they will play ball. Also nyc comp should be 20% higher than seattle comp
Gain experience with TS.
Don't count your eggs before they hatch or something. But I'd choose Two Sigma if you do get both
WLB, comp, and culture will likely be better at TS.
Don’t move from Nyc to Seattle! If you love the size of Nyc, you will get bored in Seattle unless you love the outdoors. It is easy to transfer back to Nyc with Amazon, but you’ll probably need to spend a year in Seattle first (lease / etc).
This. I'd only rate Seattle over NYC if you are obsessed with hiking, have a spouse/fiancee, and really want to retire a bit earlier.
I would say it depends strongly on what the teams are at each company. If you’re technically interested in both about the same, and the pay is comparable, then I would choose TwoSigma based on smaller size and what I assume (not having worked there, only interviewed / conferenced) are better perks.
Update us with the offer numbers pls
If Bernie wins the election and that 0.5% trade tax is passed.... Oof goodbye HFT firms

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
FAANG on resume and do internal transfer to NYC after 6 month of service
