Would you switch to JnJ if offered 230-250k for HW engineering Manager role ? It seems pretty chill compared to Amazon. It also seems like they don’t make you feel guilty for taking PTO or sick days. Practically same location, very close to Amazon Sunnyvale so no change in commute. Current TC 300k, 9YOE ( L6) Also, currently IC at Amazon and JnJ is offering a people manager role with 3-4 direct engineering reports.
Almost zero work pressure and good benefits !! Is 230k base they are offering ?
That is TC excluding LTI
If you're the kind of person who works best focusing on what your superiors need instead of your direct reports, then you'll do fine. Give vague instructions and deadlines to your team on Monday afternoons and Friday mornings, and then just park yourself in meetings for seven hours a day. Spend the eighth hour politicking with your colleagues and superiors over free lunch at the Cafe.
Can I DM you ?

That’s a pretty good TC . I’ve never seen anyone getting base greater than 180k at manager role
That is TC; which includes base, target bonus and RSUs.
Is the offer still valid? There were massive layoffs across the Santa Clara and Redwood City teams. Anyhow, I wouldn't leave Amazon for JnJ. Being a manager at jnj just means that you have to follow all the policies, listen to the complaints of everyone (low pay, lack of vision, lack of priorities, duplicate efforts,...), and you can't actually do anything about it...
Just one thing to be mindful off, I believe PG 30 (manager) is offered LTI, however it is not guaranteed. Your manager will really have to advocate for you in order to get it
Yes I was manager when joined but did nit receive LTI and was told that even though I deserved I did not get it
As a jnj manager (before my position was eliminated) I was able to get LTI for two team members under PG 31 but they must be rated Exceptional/Strong in performance review
Are there layoffs at Santa Clara site ?
I know of a handful in UX/UI/ID but not keyed in to STC layoffs beyond that (I was in RWC)
Looks like around 350 folks were laid off from that site.
