Apr 21 27 Comments

Hey folks, currently holding following offers and a bit confused which to go ahead with. Also, let me know if there is a room for negotiation
Amazon
Base - 43l
Sigon - 22l
Stocks - 1st year 4l
Overall annual tc ~69l

Msft
Base -38
P.b ~ 4l ( 10% )
Jb - (6+4)
Stocks - 100k usd
TC - 67l
(This was initial offer.still waiting on revised one)

Team in Amazon is new so there might be good learning involved whereas msft is more employee centric. Would like to hear your thoughts here.

    Amazon will have terrible WLB. I believe Salesforce has amazing WLB too. So, if you are okay with the shock, choose Amazon. Otherwise, MS over Amazon anyday

      SFT is a decent org from the perspective of WLB (it was under praful@, but I don't know who leads it now), but I would be skeptical about the quality of work there.
      I am sure you would wanna try for L6 promo, and you would need work with good scope - if you join, I strongly suggest you to shop internally and look for orgs with some good work, would give you a very strong chance for L6.

      But anyways, it's your choice. I have worked with salesforce before (albeit for a very brief time), benefits are amazing there - Amazon isn't even close, WLB was pretty much similar to my current time, but their tech is pure jack-shit

    • Totally agree on Salesforce points. Fortunately got to be part of few better teams there. I'm aware about praful part hence not able to gather much information about new leadership. My sole reason to choose amazon over msft will be quality of work and if that's avg will go with msft. But thanks for the detailed insight this really helps.

  • Amazon and then after 1 year, Microsoft with 30% TC increase.

  • With such slight difference in tc the next big factor is wlb

    • Yeah. Msft is ready to match the offer btw. But I'm concerned if i will learn enough there. But then amazon might turn out be overwhelming in terms of working hours and scary pip stories

    • Got fortunate enough to work on few good projects over the years. Also, there is enough resources on internet to get the breadth perspective and then need to dig deeper in few so you can talk about it in interviews.
