I am in process of getting interview with Amazon Bangalore for a SE2 role. Wanted to know more about the different teams present and chances of moving out to Seattle after a year. Have heard bad feedback regarding WLB in aws team.
Why are you planning to switch?
Really from Uber to Amazon?? Is something bad out there?
I believe it may be because the bump in TC that OP seeks. As an SDE2 at Amazon he can make 48-50 as opposed to 30 he's currently making
Yes, It's just about the TC.
There are some aws teams like elastic search in Bangalore. Also trms, some retail teams are also there. Moving across teams and to other countries is easier.
If TC is priority, instead of moving to Amazon within in india you should try moving to Uber USA. What are the chances of that? Is Uber India liberal in this aspect? I heard Amazon made a recent policy change where if a person wants to move to USA within a year of joining, it needs to be signed off by org VP. Also how is the overall culture at Uber BLR?
L1 Visa is a constant struggle and the salaries you command are way lower than people at the same level. It's not very difficult with the current hot market to get 75k+USD with 3-4 yoe in India
My plan is to move after 1 year to Seattle. I heard that is pretty smooth in Amazon for se2. Uber BLR culture is nice. I am just thinking about a switch because of TC and better stability in US with Amazon instead of Uber.
What’s the current TC at Uber in India?
Base 20L INR, Annual Stocks - 200units, Refresher - 10000$ for four years, cash bonus - 2lacs - Overall - 30 lacs INR
YOE?
