Got promoted at Amazon from L6 to L7 (non-SDE role) but received TPM offer from Google. Should I stay at Amazon or go to Google?
What level at google? L6?
Congrats! Good situation to be in! I would put little more weight on promotion as it’s a recognition ! How do the total comp compare? If you been at Amazon long, may be a change will help a lot! Also, evaluate team and actual work where you are going to be happier!
Thanks! TC at Amzn is around $200, Goog around $225, Goog will not disclose level
With this promo, try to get some more from Goog if you would take it!
Promo puts you at bottom of pay band even though you’ve been performing at that level for a long time. Huge comp changes come from changing companies and negotiating well. If you have been performing at the next level for a while and now it’s been recognized it is a great time to interview and see how your skills as they are now are valued elsewhere. They won’t lock you up and force you to work there if you go for an interview
I would stay at Amazon. You built a career already. You know the org and the people. You know how to get promoted. Stay but ask for more compensation. Google is just as complex as Amazon. Unless you are ready for another challenge, bored of Amazon, then move to Google. I would stay for a few more years and jump ship if you get like a VP/SVP position else where.
by moving to google, you transition to a technical role which will greatly pay off in the future, as long as you do good. The offer is low though from Google.
Is the role in with Google in the Bay or Seattle. I think the comp range may make it hard to keep a similar standard of living in the Bay Area. But would depend on base percentage vs equity.
The role is in the Bay Area for Google. They are offering more base salary and slightly more equity. I didn’t count in the signing bonus I’m receiving either from Google.
Google is a very respected company and great brand to have on your resume. A change is always good. With both Amazon and Google under your belt, you can only go to higher places. Good luck.
Go to google come back after couple of years as L7 with 200k sign on and 400k worth of stocks

Stay with amazon, unless the pay difference is really huge
