I am currently working with Microsoft as Sr. Cloud solution Architect (63) and have recently got an offer from AWS for Sr. Solutions Architect L6 position. Work life balance in my current position is awesome. Sometimes I don’t need to open my laptop for weeks. Work from home and no travel requirement. On the other hand, I heard that AWS wlb is bad. They also mentioned that I need to travel 25% of the time. Considering these factors, I am in dilemma whether to join AWS or not. Current TC: 280K New TC: 350K EDIT: I can still negotiate with AWS. This is just 1st offer provided by the HR. I need to confirm them by tomorrow. #aws #microsoft #azure #amazon
Use to work at AWS as an SA, I say stay at MS
I am used to work for longer hours. I have always done that in my career. Been to msft only for a year now.
Duh, OCI
Give me a reason to join OCI?
I can give you 4 -TC, wlb , career growth and stock growth potential
Probably not worth it for the loss of mental peace you would have. Ask for more with counteroffers and check with HM regarding on call load.
Your have crappier benefits(awful 401k/no espp/shitty insurance) and you'll work 2x more. I'd say stay at Microsoft but leverage the AWS offer to get a counter
What's your YoE OP?
Total- 11 yrs Tech exp-3 yrs
Can you break your current tc and offer, base bonus rsu? I wont join AWS if base is not more than 30%
Whats your location OP? That TC sounds pretty good for L63
Atlanta. Yup, my manager told me same 😁. I just got promoted from 62-63 and there was a 30K increase in my base. Bonus range has also increased. This is my new TC.
Whats your YOE? I’m currently in an offer process for L65. And got a TC of around 305 not including stock refresher. Is your including a 3rd or 4th year stock refresher plus on hire RSUs?

70k is not a big difference, stay there OP
What is a good difference? I can still negotiate with them.
But you can't coast
