Edit 1: Adding current comp and level details Current: L63 Senior (just got promoted) YOE: 6 TC: 220ish Both Seattle. Both SDE II. L4 Uber. Amazon - L5 Base: 151 Stocks: 105 units (5, 15, 40, 40) Joining Bonus: 80K year 1. 60K year 2. Yearly refresher: not specified. Uber - L4: Base - 151 Stocks - 7K units (25, 25, 25, 25) Joining Bonus: 50k over 2 years (25/25). Yearly refresher: 52K Considering all other benefits including yearly hike, yearly perf bonus, free food, free commute, fitnesses etc. what would you recommend? Short term Amazon seems good because my pay check is literally doubled or at least 1.5 times. Long term Uber seems better because of yearly refreshers, stock appreciation etc.
Current TC and YOE? What level at Microsoft?
