I have new grad offers from PayPal and AWS. Confused which one to go for. Offers are almost equivalent with locations being Seattle for AWS and Austin for PayPal. Priority would be career progression and green card as I am from ROW. #tech #aws #amazon #paypal TC: 0 YOE: 0 Updated: New TC - AWS : standard new grad offer PayPal : base 125k Bonus : 10% Signon : 25k Rsu's : 45k/3years Relo: 7.5k
PayPal is pretty shit I heard as well and pays peanuts. Not sure what tc you get
PayPal .. get a house with that sign on bonus in Austin ..
AWS
Aws has been shafting people reliant on work permits
Congratulations on the offers! If you still need help evaluating or negotiating the offer, please feel free to DM.
PayPal, culture is much better than Amazon
Totally agree with this ..
Yes agree. I've worked at both. PayPal has unlimited PTO, more holidays, opportunity to buy stocks at discount (ESPP), and excellent benefits. Also at 5 years, you get a 4 week sabbatical in addition to PTO time. I was part of mass non-tech layoff there in 2019, and was really sad about that
AWS will undoubtedly pay a new grad much more. It’ll also open more doors
Offered TC?
Your chances of getting PIPed are much higher at AWS.
