5 years at Google. The 2 years at Amazon + 3 years at Google just screams that you hated it at Amazon and left money on the table (since only 20% of your stocks vested).

Google JimGordon OP Nov 28, 2018

Or maybe you used unvested stocks to negotiate really hard with Google? And people won't think you are just good at Leetcode (common perception here, I don't believe G folks are just good at Leetcode)? And that you are a good engineer functionally too?

Even after two years getting into Google is all about Leetcode

Well, Jeff Bezos just voted.

Not a single person voted 5 years at Amazon. Amazing

The voting is based on the options given. But 5 years at Amazon is still great, and better than a lot of other li profiles.

Google JimGordon OP Nov 28, 2018

Yup, like Microsoft for example.

Sure, it is one of the biggest single source of candidates for other companies. When I interview, I haven't come accross a single one without at least one ex softie in the loop, sometimes the whole loop.
