Have an offer from apple for around 150k and an amazon subsidiary for around 180k. I know apple scales better because of refreshes and Amazon doesn't give refreshes or bonuses. Which offer should I take. How fast can my TC grow if I go to apple?
Ye, return intern +bit of negotiation
120-130k base, 45k+35k, 100k stocks, numbers can vary depending on negotiation
Go for Apple.
Any reasons?
Apple has better brand value. More options to work on. What are your factors? With Amazon you are stuck for 3 years due to vesting. Apple if you don’t like you can change anytime.
Apple would probably be a bigger buff on your resume but I would guess Amazon is not that far off
Refreshers only matter if you plan to stay in the company for a while. As a new grad, you're likely to jump within a next few years so choose the place where you feel like you'll grow the most.
true but if promotion is fast and comp is good, I don't mind staying for a while
That was my thought coming into LinkedIn also as a new grad. I intended to leave a year or two in. But now I'm almost 3 yrs in and my total comp is around 275k, which I think would be hard to even get a match for outside of FB/G with my years of experience.
