Amazon vs Oracle (New Grad)
Please help decide between these two offers. Thanks! TC: Amazon (Seattle): 112k + 80k(5%, 15%, 40%, 40%) + 26k/22k (first/second year sign-on)| $142k(first yr) Oracle(Bay): 192k (yearly TC) + 50k (sign-on) | $242k (first yr) Pros and Cons: Amazon: (+) FLAG brand, faster growth, greater learning maybe(?) (-) Low TC, team not assigned, bad WLB, PIP and toxic culture(?) Oracle (+) decent team with good manager/tech stacks, cloud-related (-) “BRAND NAME”, lay-off concerns, bad for career growth/job hop(?) Looking for advice on which is better to join as a New Grad from Career perspective. What do you guys think?
how does oracle pay $192k? whats the breakdown
Master
They say you should optimize for growth earlier and optimize for TC in your late 20s/early 30s.
what about people like me who started their career in their late 20s/early 30s?
I would choose Oracle. They are paying a lot more, and Amazon can be a shitty company if you land up in bad team. Atleast in Oracle you are getting good money.
OCI — Good manager good tc and good tech stack . What else do you need as an engineer ? SDE 1 you don’t get to choose team , so work for 1-2 years and jump to Amazon(if you want) for SDE 2 where you will know which team you will be working with.
Got to say you are one lucky new grad, probably worked really hard though. I would go for more money but don’t really have much of a say since I am stuck with a 60k new grad job software engineer job. #sad
Yea I’m the lucky one. Keep it up!
Definitely Oracle, look at my nickname
Shocked at Oracle Offer!
Oracle. Amazon's hockey stick growth days are over. Whatever they offer you is what you'll be stuck with for the next 4 years.
Wtf when did oracle start to pay so much?
I did use some other offers to compete
OCI has been doing that for at least 2 years
