21 year old optimizing for career growth. Here are my three options->
Zillow SDE TC: 160 + 20k RSU/Year
AWS Associate Solution Architect: 150 + 90k RSU/Amazon shitty vesting schedule (Year1: 5% | Y2:15% |20% every 6 months)
AWS SDE: 180 + 100k RSU/Amazon shitty vesting schedule
Note: Low-key dislike coding all the time. I'm good at it but would prefer talking to ppl/presenting/managing. Don't care about WLB. I'm hungry.

Zillow isn’t going to fire you if you’re coworkers are all adderall junkies
IMO — Zillow is a good enough brand to get into FAANG later if you want
