Compare twitter vs Amazon offer
Asking for a friend. 1 year experience Software Engineer Twitter SFO(SWE1) Base : 145k Joining: 15k Stocks: 6000 units ~ 125k over 4 years 25% each Amazon AWS Palo Alto(SDE1) Base: 135k Joining: 25 + 20k first year and second year Stocks: 70 units ~ 70k over 4 years (5 - 15 - 40 - 40) Just wanted to know if Amazon will be willing to negotiate and what should he ask for?
Clearly your yearly salary in Twitter is 176k and in Amazon ~160k. If Amazon is not willing to negotiate, opt for Twitter.
Take Twitter.
Twitter is 1000000x more prestigious than Amazon. Take Twitter
Lol 3 amazon employees opt for twitter.
He got in Lab126 and there is possibility that amazon will match and he is looking for stable company. So he is not able to take decision
Twitter is stable. It's not going anywhere and has a huge user base. Of course it's growth days are behind them but it is a public stock that isn't just going to tank tomorrow.
Lolwut? Twitter is a dead company walking. Tumblr has better tech than TWTR... Lab126 all the way! Much greater learning opportunity.
That amazon vesting schedule is very unfavorable because you have to stay at least 3 years to get much value from the stock. Most new grads seem to leave amazon after 1-2 years.
