Worked at 2 of the 3. So Would have to say the 3rd one.
In my case, just talking about base + bonus (excluding stocks) Amazon > Apple > Microsoft I have recently interviewed for 3 of them, got 3 offers. For SDE roles. Amazon L5 SDE2, Apple IC4 TPM, Microsoft L60 SDE with 2.5 YoE. Let’s talk about benefits. Microsoft > Apple > Amazon. But if Amazon’s pay is 90k more than Microsoft’s and 50k more than Apple’s then screw those benefits. But WLB matters as well. So now it is up to individuals if they would like to choose more money or more WLB. At companies like Google you have both. But we are not talking about Google here. If people say Apple has good WLB then the team I interviewed with didn’t seem to have good WLB. We all know about Amazon. Not all teams at Amazon have bad WLB and not all teams at Apple have good WLB.
Amazon pays well but benefits like 💩; Microsoft benefits👌 but pays 💩; have no idea about 🍎
I couldn’t agree more!
Amazon doesn't pay well. Amazon stock inflation makes up for their poor compensation.
