I am a SDE 2 at amazon and my total comp is ~175K. I love the work and opportunities that I get here and most importantly the flexibility of changing teams. I have an offer from Salesforce of 240k tc. I am inclined towards rejecting the offer and staying at Amazon with a believe that I will get to learn more over here. Please advise, am I too naive or its normal? Yoe: 6
Either look for a massive raise or go make extra money! Why do you want to give up 70k?
Naive. 6 yoe should get more and there are plenty more challenging opportunities outside.
Make the move! Loyalty is not appreciated in almost all cases. Optimize for your TC first and then learnings. Letting go of $10-20k is fine. Anything more and you're delusional. Go take Salesforce, a strong company and boomerang back to Amazon after sometime!
Thanks
Seems like amazon doesn’t value you at that TC unless you’re in Austin...and even then it has room to grow
Its seattle
Is the SF job in Seattle as well or BA? I stand by the comment about your TC being on the lower end for SDE2 but if you have to move to BA then the change in TC isn’t as drastic as it first appears.
When do you think you’ll make sde3?
I joined amazon like 1.9 yes ago, got promoted to sde2 after an year. Probably would take another 2 years if I am very optimistic
For a bottom of the band SDE 2 your salary is pretty good. If you go to Salesforce, you earn the same thing after California taxes.
TC is greater than everything on Earth
Make the move but don't go to Salesforce.
why?
Are the 2 jobs in same location?
Trying for it
What's the title Salesforce offered you? That TC sounds like LMTS

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Yes naive.
