I have 12 years of exp and I have been given a sde 2 offer at amazon, have offer from other non FAANG companies(fortune 500) which match the total comp or even slightly better than amazon and gives better position. Should I consider amazon or give the other companies a try?
Tc 285
285k is pretty high for sde 2, it may already reach the sde 3 band.
With tc 285 you are fine at juniper.
Hey Iβm new here, what does sde mean?

What are the details of your offers? ... or GTFO! π
How does the role at different company aligns with your long term vision ? If both of the roles have same responsibilities then go for amazon
How many years of experience
Go to other fang. SDE2 is too low if you have 12 years of experience. College hires becomes SDE2 s after one or two years.
Not very representative of Amazon. If you get to become L5 in 2 years from college then either your team is full of noobs or that person is really smart. This is rarely seen.
It is actually fairly often
Try other FAANG too for comparison. 285k is top for SDE2. Your main TC increase will be from stock appreciation, but vesting schedule sucks. Getting to SDE3 level is not easy, and depending on the team it might take between 2 and 6 years
