Amazon : L5 160 base 200 sign-on/2years 250 rsu Seattle FB : E4 150 base 40 sign-on 300k Bay Area Current TC 285 bay area but in a tier 2 company YOE: 5+ which one makes more sense?
Agreed with above. Fb due to prestige, refreshers, and perks
Take Facebook
Amazon Offer is for sde2 or research?
Is it really worth $40k less a year to work at Facebook? I would have thought moral there would be low
If you join Amazon with this TC, you should not expect to get a bump when you get promoted to sde3. This TC is above the pay range for sde2.
Join Amazon and move to FB in 4 years if they are still around and prestigious..
Fb E5
Year 3+4 is really high for an SDE2. Even at current stock price, thatās 300+ TC for L5. That seems like close to middle of SDE3 band.
Iād stay in Seattle but get into FB
Exactly this. Ask to stay in Seattle. Your TC will be much higher with FB with bonuses, refreshers, etc. - more so if you get promoted to E5. Amazon won't give you another raise if the stock price rises.
What if role is only for Bay Area?
