I think you meant L5 and E4. I think the money difference is huge and amzn stocks are dirt cheap right now
U r right
Google stocks are dirt cheap and were even before the market came down
At Amazon you'll always have to wait 17 months for your next raise to kick in.
AWS for two years then double (or triple) your TC at Meta or Google.
Aws comes with health risk and mental torture. Do consider it
I have a close friend working under my amazon HM, it’s an internal service team and their WLB is great, do you think AWS culture could still be a concern?
Yes pip is always major worry in uncertain times considering you will be high earner. Your poll should be life vs death ?
Google sounds like the best place to be. I'd take it for WLB alone. You'll be working more than $40k worth of overtime at Amazon.
Don't go to an interal service or tools team in a recession, stay close to the products generating revenue.
Google will give options into other business units, not sure abt AWS
Can you share offer details rather than just total comp? They're not apples to apples comparison and Amazon usually tricks you with their unique comp structure. Is Y3 and Y4 also the same?
AWS can go to 400K. Take that for 2 years(Mostly cash), learn and then go to G for L5.
