AWS to Bloomberg

Anyone switched from tech company to Bloomberg? I just had an on-site interview with Bloomberg and people were very nice and chill. Do you regret your decision? YOE: 2.5 tc: 140k (CAD) #bloomberg

Bro who is picking AWS, you must hate your life Edit: just saying OP, you won’t get an unbiased answer here because most people on Blind are Amazon/AWS and people only care about high TC here

Hey OP, is this for a SWE role in Canada?

Amazon keepsmili OP Jul 18, 2022

Yes

ORBCOMM MoneyMitch Jul 18, 2022

Congratulations OP! Didn’t know they hired SWEs in Canada, is this remote for a role in the states? What’s the TC like here, I know they pay well in the states.

BB is highly team specific. So all the best!

If you want to coast, go to Bloomberg but get ready for 🥜

Amazon keepsmili OP Jul 18, 2022

My TC at AWS is already 🥜 with much worse WLB ...

TC for entry level/mid-level is NOT peanuts, it’s 200k+, that isn’t shabby at all since on many teams would be working only 20-30 hours a week

depends on the team

Went from aws to Bloomberg. Leaving soon to get another tc bump tho. Pros - all cash comp (250 tc) - retirement home - snacks Cons - boring work

Did you get past a lot of resume screens with Bloomberg on your resume? I heard HFT’s like Bloomberg people cause of all the cpp work there
