I got an offer from flexport and I’m basically set to accept the flexport offer because the interview process felt welcoming and theres more room for growth. Amazon stock not doubling anytime soon and plus I’ve heard the culture at amazon is frugal and extensive. Like am I really gonna make it 2-4 years at Amazon, hell no. But the benefit of amazon is that faang badge. However equity vesting is garbage, only 5 Y1 and 15 Y2. Any thoughts TC: Washington state final offers Amazon: 350k 50/50 base / equity Flexport: 300k 60/40 base / equity Edit: YOE: 5
Flexport breakdown?
Can u / did u negotiate tc?
Yoe?
Edited
Flexport xD
Thoughts: In this economic environment be glad for the guaranteed comp for the next two years with Amazon. Amazon will open more doors for you professionally than Flexport will. To me it seems like a no brainer. Locking in FAANG on resume for more money thats effectively stock price proof for two years.
FAANG is overrated, go to Flex port for growth and mental sanity. FAANG is just holding onto its glory years from the 2010s. A few years from now, Amazon engineers will be regarded as IBMers are today and Meta engineers will be treated like the ones from Yahoo. If you’re strong well rounded Engineer, you don’t need no FAANG on your resume. At 5 YOE you’ll get opportunities to lead projects worth much larger scope at Flexport. At Amazon you’ll be just another cog in the wheel, learning how to navigate politics. You may loose out on some money in the short run by going to flexport but you’ll definitely optimize for the long term.
What role for flexport, TC breakdown?
Not true, retail only.
