Got Amazon L6 SDE offer in Seattle. Base 160k, sign-on: first year:355. Second year: 280 RSUs: 210 Avg TC for 4 years @3500stock price: 501,000 I have E5 offer from FB: 201/638/95/15% Which one would you choose? Please write why would you choose one over another. Thanks
FB since I still want to code. Also much better technology stack.
That's a decent FB offer. Highest I've seen lately is 210/600/100 so you're doing well!
L6 SDE base 160k? Seriously?
If Amazon pays much better than FB, then definitely choose Amazon. L6 at Amazon has more power than E5. If you care about levels, you can pull a lot more weight as L6 at Amazon. In FB, levels are secretive. An E4 can easily disagree/ignore you because he/she thinks you are a fellow E4. At Amazon, SDE1s will worship you (well, atleast on the outside).
L6 SDE at Amazon is solid at $500k avg. Take the higher TC.. Ignore the pip blind bias. That’s not for you
What org at Amazon?
Is it correct? Amazon is 100k over fb? I think Facebook has pretty good refreshers thou
Do you want to focus on design/scoping or coding? L6 at Amazon is a very wide band, and most teams have at most a single L6. Some have none. L7 promo is both very tough technically and politically. L6 generally don't have to worry about unjustified PIP and hire to fire. You do have to worry about justified PIP but that is the same as in FB. I understand E5 at FB can still mainly focus on coding. E6 promo is also easier given it is deserved based on performance.
Are you talking about retail? Major AWS teams have at least 1 SDE3 and most have multiple. SDE3 doesn’t mean what it used to.
Yes, major AWS teams have more than one usually. And they should, they’re major… which indicates the importance of an SDE3. It still means what it used to. Bring them over to snap all the time at the same level and much higher comp.
