Red Hat:
Fully remote
Base salary - 125k
15% annual bonus
30k annual target for equity awards
TC: 143k - 173k (the big variance worries me as I was told the 30k isn't guaranteed)
AWS:
Partially remote (2-3 days in the office)
Base salary - 149k
68k sign on bonus, 39k Y1, 29k Y2
28 shares of stock
TC: 191k
Current TC: 122k and fully remote
AWS offers 10 days off a year, and Red Hat offers 20 + a company wide shut down over the week of Christmas
The WLB sounds much better at Red Hat, but the AWS offer would be a higher salary. But if I were to get the full 30k/yr of equity at Red Hat, a 20k (10k net after taxes) difference wouldn't be as big of a deal, especially if I'm fully remote. I also think the prestige of Amazon makes me want to work for them more as it would open more doors in the future.
I'm really struggling to decide. I highly value my remote lifestyle. Thoughts?

Amazon is a good brand no doubt but it is thinning. Red Hat is all about Kubernetes, OpenShift, Linux and Ansible. They are betting huge on edge computing. Also, don’t worry about IBM. They don’t interfere.
I have seen people going in both directions. From Red Hat to Amazon and vice versa.
