Oracle OCI - Senior SW Base - 155k, RSU - 105k/yr, sign-on 15k, TC 260k Amazon AWS - SDE 1 Base 141k, RSU - 31 shares, sign-on y1- 28k, sign-on y2 - 19k, TC ~= 170k 4 YoE. Both Seattle location. Amazon seems to be an obvious choice for a lot of people. However, I have heard a lot of good stuff about OCI too. Which offer to choose? Comparison between work life balance, culture, job satisfaction etc would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
SDE1 for 4 yoe?
I was actually interviewed for SDE 2. I should've done a bit better. But yea SDE 1 is what they offered me.
100k is a big difference in my opinion. Join OCI and if you don’t like it there, You can try SDE-2 in another 6 months or so and then change
Amazon is really lowballing you. Go with OCI and if it’s not the best fit, make a move in a year or so.
OCI since wlb is great there and pay is much more. Don’t follow the Amazon herd.

Dude. It's 100K difference!
Which is more of a meat grinder? Both are good, take the one that treats employees the best.
Lots of Amazon people at OCI. You’re young, give OCI a shot.
