You really are comparing amazon to ibm?
Uff! This is gonna be my first full time job in US. I was genuinely seeking help. 🙈
Well to answer your question, you will be stupid to choose ibm over amazon.
IBM no doubt! It has international brand recognition (especially in the developing nations) and highly respected by the academia and telecom companies. Also you might get chance of playing with Watson, or some archaic supercomputers. Or you might be able to travel the world as a highly valued consultant! Think about these! You’ll become a multi-cultural and cross-industry phenom! Without IBM there would be no Microsoft and many other silly E-commerce or glorified retail companies! With Amazon you’ll have no respect at all! IBM’s contribution to the science, humanity, and the Universe (including the Black Hole we all are talking about) is enormous! Trust me...
Even if you choose to sort them both, AWS will be at index 0. Run for your life
Without knowing the teams, AWS would be a no-brainer. Also, I thought the pay difference is significant enough that this question wouldn't come up.
As others have said highly depends on team, research is better than most amazon teams. Wlb and remote working at IBM on average is significantly better than amazon. I encourage you to strongly consider this if peace of mind or family or stability is a large consideration to you. If absolute compensation is the only consideration than the answer would be different.
Agreed IBM Research is top notch with bonus and RSU in some cases

If you don’t know this one..
I've never worked at Amazon. Plus Amazon is hiring so aggressively, I've seen people with almost no technical (coding, algo, ds) knowledge getting SDE positions.
What level? SDE1?
