Hi folks, I got a Sr. SDE in microsoft, TC is 320k Amazon is sde2 with TC of 330k. I have google, twitter, lyft and salesforce asking for phone interviews, should i even bother? Current TC is 255k, yoe is 5 years. Both offers are in the Bay Area
msft has annual bonus and rsu refresher, but amazon barely has any. vote for msft.
DO MICROSOFT
That's a strong offer from Microsoft. They have better wlb. Free medical insurance.
How was your interview experience and how were the interviews mostly on? Design and previous experience or leetcode?
MSFT offer is better but I think you are misreading the amazon offer. If it’s really 250 rsu, your TC won’t be high until year 3. I suspect though it’s 250K stocks not 250 rsu because your signon is very low in comparison.
I also doubt your TC at Amazon is really over 300k. Never seem anyone posting greater than 270k for SDE 2 at Amazon. Admittedly it is Blind data. As above person mentioned, you probably miscalculated stock portion. Amazon stock vests 5%, 15%, 40%, 40%. That means you barely get any stock until third year. Besides, you gotta add 15-20k for MSFT offer when comparing to Amazon since MSFT benefits worth that much (401k, medical).

What is the break down of your Amazon offer? In terms of base, signing bonus and number of stocks
Got the exception approved but don’t have the final numbers yet. For msft 185 base 250 stocks 70 for first year 30 for 2nd year
Honestly 330k for sde2 in Amazon is pretty good even comparing to F/G... though sde3 bar at Amazon is slightly higher
