120k base 45k first year signing 35k second year signing (prorated over 12 months) 60 units of Amazon stock (5/15/40/40%) vesting schedule Yoe: 1 I'm coming over as an L60 from Microsoft Current comp: 118k base 0-9k annual stock bonus (conservative estimate of 4.5k) 0-20% annual cash bonus (est 10%) 120k RSUs (25/25/25/25) schedule, I've gotten the first vest but if I join Amazon I'll forfeit the rest. To me, it offer as it stands will significantly lower my quality of life, taking into account Amazon's joke 401k matching and health insurance. But the team seems amazing, and I'll be working with one of my excellent professors from college. Is there any wiggle room to make this a worthwhile move for me?
401k marching is less. But health insurance is the same as amazon benefit-wise, *except* you pay pre-tax about 1.5k per year instead of msft paying it.
Yeah, I guess what I meant was the fact that I have to pay for it makes it a joke.
You’re early in your career and should try to get as much relevant experience in areas you want to drive your career toward. If the amazon job seems like something you want to do long term go get the experience.
Any chance you make to 61 Sept? If yes, wait then and try again
It's possible but I don't think I can count on it.... Do you know if Amazon reviews are harder or easier than Microsoft?
I won’t advise you to move unless you are making at least 30% more with the move.
Move to Amazon for a 40% bump at a minimum. It isn't worth it otherwise.
Even I wont recommend working there unless you get a massive pay jump, I have been there and I wouldn't recommend it as a great place to work, no work life balance ( that's my view though). If you are really interested in the kind of work your team does, go ahead and join otherwise I ll not suggest joining
OP did you get a higher offer?
Meh.. not worth it...take the promo to L61 and then try other FANGs
