Amazon or Microsoft offer?
New grad. Amazon(Seattle) --> base: 112k 1st year sign on: 36k, 2nd year sign on: 36k Stocks: 120k (5, 15, 40, 40) AWS Microsoft(Redmond) --> base: 110k Sign on: 50k (over 2 years) + relocation π₯ Stocks: 120k Azure Data Which is better for both career and TC growth. Edit: Amazon has revised the offer. 120k stocks and 2nd year sign on 36k. What should I do now? They said it's very rare in new grad case. MS has also increased stocks to 120k.
Amazon is much better for career growth for a new grad.
I suggest to think about team and project. Which one will be good to your future?
Why the poll is skewed? The companies are so much comparable. I initially thought of going to Amazon. Please comment your suggestions with some points.

An additional difference in the comp structures is also that Msft offers a cash bonus every year (usually about 10% for the entry levels) while amazon does not

I donβt know what Diversity and Inclusion policy is at Amazon, but at Microsoft there are hires being made internally which are jaw dropping, people are leaving the company in some cases because upper management implemented a bonus for how diverse teams are hired, square pegs are being forced into round holes and our competitors are winning because competent talent is seeing this and going to them
Microsoft bad
Microsoft is not truthful in their recruitment in regards to relocating and with our current Diversity and Inclusion directives you will want Amazon if you are a white male or asian
Indians are asians too
Whatever, if you are a dude and qualified to do a position but a woman is in the interview loop and knows the definition of a few key words from reading the night before she is getting the position, you get my point
