Hi everyone, Currently a contractor/vendor at Apple as a SDET and received a verbal offer from a company for a Software Engineer position. Only issue is that I am currently interviewing for Amazon. I was given 4 business days to accept the offer. I emailed the Amazon recruiter asking if we can speed up the process a bit. If not, is it possible to put my Amazon interview process on hold for some time? What do? Anyone else experience a similar situation like this? Thanks. Location: Bay Area YOE: ~2 years Current TC: $55/hr 🥜 Offered TC: $105k salary + $5k sign on + whatever else is in the offer letter (asked about upping salary and recruiter said probably not)
That TC is quite low. I rather wait
I would accept the Apple offer but continue talking with the Amazon recruiter. It might make more sense to stay at Apple for another year and try to come into Amazon as an L5
Continue interviewing.
What? No. Tc is super low. Interview amazon. Tel them that 4 days is not enough because you make decisions in your house together with your spouse or some other similar reason. If they need you that bad they will wait
Don’t take the offer you’re making just as much as a contractor. Apple contract is probably more prestige than the other company plus it’ll hurt your resume if you keep switching which you probably will with that TC. Stay put and keep leetcode
What are the odds of clearing amazon ? Are you well prepared ?
Accept the offer, continue to interview. If you get a better offer then jump ships. In the long run, burnt bridges wont hurt that much.
Yeah after thinking about it, I will most likely do this.
This is a great advice
Are you on visa?
