Been in Amazon for a while as a PE. Have a good WLB, enjoy my team, familiar with all code bases, so I can enjoy regular coding with the team as well, have supportive manager. Con, the pay is not as great next year. This year it’s 850k+ How is E7 role workload? The pay is great, but worried to jump ship in this economy and with two toddlers on toe. Also being a woman need to shoulder most of child care and house work on top of tech work. Which one would you pick?
PE at amazon means you are making some serious money and have been making it from a while so unless you’re financially challenged and incompetent I’m sure money shouldn’t be a problem. It’s more of a question of time, energy spent and familiarity with domain space. I would say stay at amazon till the economy clears out. You can always look around in the future since being a PE means you always have doors open in terms of jumping ship to another company
Definitely can’t raise 2 kids on 500k. Shudder.
