Oct 30, 2020 7 Comments

How would you compare Workday’s work culture, compensation, benefits and scope for growth vs AWS? Which one would you recommend over the other?

How much compensation can I expect for a Senior Solutions Architect (Identity) role in Workday and AWS?

YOE: 14

This role is different from Field Architects

      With stock growth, effective TC comes in higher than the TC Target (especially Y3/Y4) but that's not guaranteed by any means. My TCT is 290k, but my Y4 will be around 450 (and then plummet Y5 back towards the TCT).

    Culture is very different in both companies. Your WLB is going to be much better at Workday. I'd estimate you'd get 180-200 base and 250/4 years equity at Workday. You can always get sign on too.

    Both are technical positions. If you’re goal is to move up the ladder and build soft-skills, go into SA route. If you want to stay technical and vision yourself as a Principal SDE or SDM, then Workday.
