What’s the comp comparison with nvidia? I’d much rather work there, but you do you.

TC 195k at Nvidia. What are your reasons for Nvidia over Amazon?

I have recently moved from Amazon to Nvidia. Besides worse wlb, shitty comp structure, pip culture, poor facilities and sometimes nasty coworkers it’s a great place to work and make an impact. In fact I have seen people making an impact even when not working. But then, Amazon is a large place and experience could vary a lot. Statistically what I described is a significant percentage.

Amazon. Nvidia is a great company too but not as much upward potential and impact as amazon.

If you move to seattle most likely nv will reduce your tc by 5-10k if not more. So tc wise amazon will be be 40k better
