Just started working at Amazon a few months ago and have been approached by Google. Assuming I get the job, and the work is as interesting as my current role, and given the potential negative impact on network and relationship to Amazon, how much TC should I look to get at Google to justify leaving so soon? Im thinking minimum 300k (extra 70k) to justify leaving but not sure if future employers will look at my 4-6 month stint too negatively. 300k? 350k? Current TC 230k SDE II 5 YOE
as long as google dont care, u should not care either. Just go for the interview, the chance for u to get an offer is just5%.
It doesnāt matter. Companies understand people have competing offers and the timing isnāt always neat. You just donāt want to Have a lot of short stints.
Google's offer is good for a year. And their process takes months (since they approach you till you get the team match). If you start the process now, you can easily join G after your first anniversary at Amazon. No bad impact on either of them.
It's always about how you sell it. 1. What the others have already said 2. "I left for a better opportunity because I wanted xyzabc" is perfectly acceptable 3. Google *clearly * doesn't care that you've only been at amazon for a few months and I'm willing to bet no big company it startup will care
Leave it off your resume
