Good to have on your resume for next future jobs
No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
- benefits aren’t amazing, but they’re decent - allows fully remote positions still
- high workload - developer happiness us minimal -company tends to kick things down the road rather than broach glaring problems
All, I have recently joined Oracle. AWS is regularly offering me job opportunities. I like Oracle. Without speaking about the details of the job opportunities or TC, what is your opinion about working at AWS vs Oracle? #tech #offer #career
I work for the big O (Oracle) in the database group. I specialize in db performance. Got an offer from AWS for the “database speciality solution architect” group. Level 6 position. Good pay (over $300K TC). Oracle is willing to match AWS offer, salary wise. For me here are the choices.... For Or...Read more

Why would anyone join Oracle. Aws has a better reputation. More stability and better pay. It's services are world class where as oci is like an infant. ##leetcode #oracle
The way OCI is poaching top talent with never before seen top of the band offers, I think OCI is going to destroy AWS GCP Azure. Larry ellison is making a comeback.
AWS is hiring a ton of Oracle SE’s. It will start to feel more and more like Oracle. Agree?
I have an offer for IC4 (non-OCI) and negotiating one for SDE2. Which should I take? IC4 TC: $216K SDE2 TC: TBD Location: Austin YOE: 6.5 Current TC: $205K Obviously AWS has more name brand value, but the Oracle position is a Principal level. Which one does it make sense to take assuming I have...Read more
In terms of work, culture and compensation for mid level engineers (SDE2)? I heard BMC is different from other Oracle divisions.
Joining OC next week with a small comp bump (which is now negated due to the meteoric rise in Amazon stock) and also because I wanted to learn how to build distributed services from scratch. Learned a lot at AWS and I am excited to apply those principles elsewhere. Sad for leaving a gold mine (unve...Read more
I’m interviewing with AWS, GCP, and Oracle Cloud. Is it good or bad behavior to inform each company that you are interviewing specifically with their competitors? Does it help or hurt chances of offer?
Evry time I see a subpar engineer at one of these three get fired or PIPed out they end up going to Oracle cloud. Oracle is looking for cloud engineers very hard but do they realize they are just getting the big three’s sloppy seconds? How are they going to build a competitive cloud with people who ...Read more
Assuming I'm chasing an SRE (site reliability engineering) role at the three companies mentioned in the title within the cleared space (GovCloud), which one would be better career-wise for professional growth and development? My plan is to bounce around everywhere, but I want to work for a company ...Read more
2 yoe. Amazon Comp: 110000+20000+15% of 70 shares Oracle Comp: 170000 + 25% of 5000 shares. AWS has a shiny brand name, cloud business numba 1. Should I move because of TC boost?
Get an opportunity to move to a SaaS team at Oracle. TC 220k. I’ve heard there are not many young people working there and I am 28. SaaS seems like a profitable area at Oracle though. Should I make the move?
I'm basically a skilled DevOps engineer with a top secret security clearance. Many years of experience, but minimal experience with hardcore coding and algos so I cannot expect top level comp. I'm an "SRE II (61)" at Microsoft, would be some generic SDE/SWE at Oracle, an "ADC Engineer L5" with fast-...Read more
Whats your thought if you are working in Oracle cloud Infrastructure Larry ellision cliamed that it is better than aws in terms of price and feature.
Blind community, I am looking at two offers side by side. AWS - 575k TC Oracle - 750k TC Seems like Oracle stock is undervalued today so there might be some growth potential in the future. Not sure how much room there is for AMZN to grow. Obviously AWS is the leader in cloud but OCI might have ...Read more
