YoE - 5+ Current Role - Tech Lead Past Experience - Small/medium start-ups Arcesium Offer - Tech Lead Base - 45 Performance Bonus - 4 to 6L Retention Bonus - 15L over 4 years (Bonus and increments in Jan 2023) Amazon Offer - SDE2 Base - 33 Bonus Year 1 - 20 Bonus Year 2 - 16.5 Stocks - 20 Units (5-15-40-40) (20% vesting every 6 months from third year onwards) My dilemma is regards the lack of brand name in my resume. I think adding Amazon really opens up tons of doors in the future. For additional perspective, I got offers from Oyo, Byjus, MindTickle, Khatabook and Zomato as well. But ultimately none of these offer a brand name of Amazon or pure cash of Arcesium. (I know Blind hates Amazon but my current companies are absolutely nothing special hence, I'm inclined towards joining it.) Current TC - 35 Fixed
Equity is real gold. Go with Amazon. Amazon's compensation is way greater than Arcesium's cash
Chose Amazon.
Amazon anyday !
What's your current TC?
Whats the designation at amazon? Amazon stocks are very valuable. They can easily beat Arcesium’s TC by a large margin. Go with amzn
Current TC - 35 Fixed Arcesium Designation - Tech Lead Amazon Designation - SDE - 2
Arcesium designations are over-amplified. Promotions are based on tenure and not capability. You get a promotion almost every 2.5 years.
Isn't grab a good brand 😜
Hahaha. This post is for a friend.
Which one did you chose, OP?
Amazon.
Welcome to the dark side.
Choose where you will have a chance to grow your career. Don't decide only based on number. Arcesium doesn't have scope for learning and you will be doing only operational Tak's for almost 60 to 70 % of the time
That's not the case it is team dependent. Recently joined and I haven't done any ops in the last 4 months. I am only doing active development and involved in design as well. Although I think it's because of the team that I am working on.
