I am an SDE 1 at Amazon Hyderabad and have received an SDE 1(Google L3) offer from Google Hyderabad. Amazon SDE1 TC: INR 22 L Google SDE1 TC: INR 31L I have been told by my Amazon manager that he will be targeting my SDE 1 to SDE 2 promotion in the next quarter. After promotion, my expected SDE 2 TC: INR 34L. Also, I plan to move out to the US/Zurich in a year or two. Based on my situation, which one should I choose and why ? What are the pros and cons of choosing Google over Amazon ? Also, in which company will it be easier for me to move out to US(in case I join Google or stay at Amazon)/Zurich(In case I join Google) ? Current YOE: 1.5 Years. #google #amazon
I was in a similar situation (in EU though) and will stick with Amazon. Starting over is not worth it and promos at g are slow. I’d rather get promoted now, go to us and get my green card than make a bit extra money and have to start over.
Go for google without any thought!
Google hands down! Don't even think twice - you can build a career at Google and not burn out.
If you have spent 1.5 years at Amazon, you sure know how promo works and how close you are to acheiving it. I feel if you really are that close, wait it out. If promo doesn't go through Google offer still remains for 6 months. BTW how much is your base out of 22?
Wish I had problems like you when I was your age.
😂
Google without any doubt
Any update OP?
Google. No second thoughts.
Congratulations! It's a no brainer - go to Google, change teams to Zurich/MTV after an year.
My main concern here is that I will be missing out on the SDE 1 to SDE 2 promotion.
You can ask your recruiter to delay your joining, Google offers are good for an year AFAIK. Although IMHO, experience at Google > experience outside if you eventually do shift.
