Amazon Sr PM vs Deloitte Consulting Sr Tech Consultant
Deciding between Amazon Sr PM (my summer internship) and Deloitte Consulting Sr Tech Consultant (my former employer before b-school - 4 years) post-MBA.
Comp is similar between both, only difference being Deloitte will pay for my tuition ($120k)
Amazon is in Seattle, Deloitte is in DC (my hometown - wouldn't need to pay rent). Ideally, would like Amazon in HQ2 in 2 years but don't know the feasibility if entire career spent in Tech Consulting besides my summer internship at Amazon (received return offer).
Long term career goals are to be in tech, either CEO or Director-level of org or my own start-up. Amazon obviously gets me relevant work experience and experience I want, however having a hard time justifying the decision to leave money on the table to move cross-country. Don't know if I can get school paid for and then rejoin in 2 years in similar capacity at HQ2.
I'm a workaholic, really enjoy working hard and progressing through my career, work/life balance is not a priority at this stage of my career. Found the work at Amazon to be gratifying and in my limited exposure meshed well with the culture.
What are your recommendations? Take Amazon now, and give up the money ($200k) or do my 2 years at Deloitte and try for Amazon again? What do you think is the likelihood of getting Amazon again?

Do check what kind of commitments are expected. I believe it will be atleast of 3 years.
AMZN for 4 years ~$200k
Do you think it’s reasonable to expect a match in total comp if I do Deloitte for 2 years then reapply to AMZN?
Btw - sounds like you already tried negotiating with recruiter (fellow intern here). Was there any wiggle room on signing or stock, or is the offer completely non-negotiable?
