AWS Vancouver vs Amazon Prime Video London

I have option to join the above two teams. I'm more inclined towards the AWS team as the team is just starting in Vancouver (ring 0 service) and its AWS. On the other hand the reason for choosing Prime would be because it is in London! Prime TC: £49K base + £19K sign on + £2k stocks = 70k AWS TC: not yet disclosed. YOE: 2 years Level: L4(sde 1)

Remember that taxes are higher in those countries.

Vancouver TC will probably be a bit higher from what I know, could be wrong though

Assuming L4 means SDE2, then Vancouver easily. Your London offer is only 100k cad, and SDE2 Vancouver starts at 160k cad.

L4 is SDE 1 in Amazon

SDE1 starts at 130k, so either way, still a big pay difference
