Confused between a starting software engineering role between Seattle@Amazon and Sunnyvale@Amazon Lab126. Does the compensation and life in Bay Area trump living in Seattle? Are there any perks offered in one and not in another?
Bay Area is great but amazon Seattle is probably better
Meet more people and more opportunities in Sunnyvale. Better life in Seattle.
Also lab126 is probably more interesting?
We have lab126 in Seattle In fact the SVP for SW is here
Sunnyvale shoe box or Seattle actual Apartment...choose one
Lab126 is a famously shitty place to work around here.
Go with Seattle. SJC Amazon is a shit hole satellite office.
If you don’t like your Amazon job in Seattle you have a few options that aren’t a satellite office. In The Bay Area, there are too many tech companies hq to even mention. And every single tech company in the world that doesn’t have their HQ here has a satellite
Where are you currently? I wouldn't uproot for an Amazon job from Seattle to Sunnyvale or Sunnyvale to Seattle. Your tenure may not last longer than your vesting schedule.
Am in the bay currently. I just got to know about the vesting schedule! It's really harsh
Seattle and bay area has the same compensation after tax. Don't relocation unless you want to buy a home and Seattle is what you can afford but bay area is not.
Go for Seattle
