Looking for some advice to help choose between offers. Currently working at Amazon in a decent org as L5 #tech and have an offer from Cisco for L11. What would you recommend in terms of growth for Software Developer, opportunity and future scope perspective. Thank you. Yoe:6+ TC: 320K #amazon #cisco #tech #software
Follow money.
Come to cisco if you want to retire
L5 with 320 TC and decent org, stay at Amazon
Cisco is a great place to work and good work life balance
As much as I hate Amazon and their awful practices, I don’t think moving to Cisco would be the right move, especially considering that it’s easier to move from Amazon to other FAANGs than it is to move from Cisco to another company. Even with the uplevel, it’s better to stick it out at Amazon and keep looking unless the TC bump from jumping is significantly more than what you make now, since there’s an opportunity cost in leaving for a company like Cisco that has no real impact or power in the market. You’re better off trying for a promo at Amazon or rebounding to another FAANG once the market recovers. Good luck! TC: 90K
You have 90 TC, so either you are older and clearly haven’t mastered the TC game or you’re young and don’t have enough YOE or have worked at either place to make completely baseless comments like you just have 😅 I hope you realize a lot of cloud companies and service providers run off hardware from Cisco and we are the reason internet pretty much exists anywhere. I’ve worked at both. It depends on what you want out of life and where you’re at in your current career. L5 seems like a down level if you got a G11 offer from Cisco. L6 normally maps to 11-12. Cisco does have better WLB if you are raising a family and pretty much fully remote. So, again, it depends on what you’re looking for. Source: G12 at Cisco, TC 375
Been to cisco and G11 is shit level. They call it Tech Lead 1. Although the target bonus is 15% just like G10. Basically with G11 you get more responsibilies, little bit more base and same bonus as G10. Fyi, at G12 bonus target jumps to 25% Convince me that this isn't stupid af. Heard recently they restructured it. But dunno if they hav addressed this above issue.
What’s Cisco tc? Which bu? If you are serious about Cisco, make sure you are in good team
G11 at Cisco can get 320k+ easily. Then boomerang to L6 if you want to grind.
This is assuming sjc right? 270 In Raleigh
Yeah Bay Area, though it’s possible for NC if you’re really good.
What’s the breakdown of Cisco offer? G11 should easily be 230k base
Do you like 50k more with sleep less nights? Then Amazon. I wouldn't trade sleepless nights anything less than 300k more
Details of the offers matter a lot
