Recently I got an offer from both apple and amazon, and I’m having hard time deciding which one to choose. Both are in Cupertino, apple opportunity is with iTunes team and amazon opportunity is with a confidential team. Amazon TC: $233K Apple TC: $223K Amazon level: SDE2 Apple level: ICT4 Base salary for both are same. Amazon is giving $106k in 2 years as joining bonus. Apple is giving $50k. Amazon rsu 100 units in 4 years. Apple worth $135k in 4 years.
If you want your product released, go for Amazon. If you want work life balance, go for Apple.
Yoe? Apple offer is too low for ict4
Apple no brainer.

I want to say Apple... but iTunes sounds pretty lame. Didn’t even know people still use that given how big Spotify is now. Still might be safer to try Apple first, you can always join Amazon later. We have thousands of SDE recs opened, which we can’t fill.
That will include payments for all paid apps and apple stream services.
Be aware that at Apple managers aggressively pip out many employees. If this happens to you not only you lose the better money but basically means you get fired. Manager has all the power and no matter how hard you work, you will be under his power.
Not sure why people work at Amazon.
I guess you are looking for a more complex reason other than “can’t get an offer from Google Linkedin Facebook, etc.”
What's the range for ICT4? I have heard of numbers ranging from 280k to 450k.

Apple offer is too low. You should get at least 250 or so at minimum. Which team is it?
But there is upto 15% annual bonus in apple, plus position is a bit senior in comparison to amazon. iTunes.
Apple bonus is really random and usually in the range of 9-11%
