About me: New grad 2yr work ex India, 1yr US (internships) Offer details: Amanzon SDE 1 (Seattle) TC: 112k base + 50k (in 2yr) joining bonus+ 80k stocks (over 4 yrs) Oracle OCI SDE 2 Full Stack (Seattle) TC: 130k base + 150k stocks(over 4 yrs) + 20k joining bonus + 10k relocation Wayfair Machine learning engineer (Boston) TC: 120k base + 10% bonus + 5k relocation My skill set are mainly backend software engineer and a newbie to MLE. (don’t want to write front end code at all) Posting on behalf of a friend as he doesn’t have blind a/c, YET!
My advice is not wayfair
Any specific reason? My friend did his coop there and enjoyed the work. If you could elaborate on your answer, that would be great.
Search blind about technical incompetence at wayfair. It’s a shit tier place with a schizophrenic tech stack. I believe they use a combo of PHP and C# and they wrote their own bug tracking system. They wrote their own bug tracking system. That’s all you need to know. Stay away
Oracle offer looks pretty good. You could probably squeeze some more RSU but that looks pretty good for 1yr US exp. Oracles benefits are great too, I’ll miss them. Do you know which team on OCI?
Dm’d you!
No to Boston and east coast pick one from amazon or Oracle
amazon obv why is this even a debate
He is concerned about whether he will get to choose a team that he wants to join at Amazon.
team changing is very easy at amzn if he doesn’t like his first team
Oracle offers seems great. I know M4 and M5 with less stock. Take it! Great offer. They take you seriously. Oracle is changing and start to be a great company again.
Oracle kept saying they are changing for the last decade lmao
Choose either Seattle offer. Lower cost of living and higher TC.
Stay away from WF for now

Can you share about your friend’s OCI on site?
He had 4-5 onsite interviews, including one with the hiring manager. Most of them were technical coding rounds. He was also grilled on cloud based tech stack which he had used in the past.
