Posting for a friend. Title explains all. Amazon - Value added services team TC 1st year - 25L Stock - 7 (17L approx) Location - Hyderabad Flipkart - Ad tech TC 1st year - 23.5 Stock - 59 (6.5L approx IPO this year) Location - Bangalore YOE : 1.9 Thanks for the help guys. Going the Flipkart route. ๐ Preferably explain why to choose too.
I agree with flopkart to wait and apply for sde2 instead. What is the current tc ?
@op please update "your" tc and yoe
Are you including stocks to TC ?
No. Just base and first year bonus
If engineers at Amazon/Flipkart can comment on the culture and work in these respective orgs (VAS vs AdTech), itโd be easier for your friend to make a decision.
Yes, definitely.
Ad tech team is good. Good tech stack. There has always been lot of focus on this team after all this is one of the few and highest profit making team in flipkart. Rest all burn money. But with more focus and good quality work, be also ready to expect less wlb.
Hi what tech stack is used to deploy ML models? Can I dm?
Sure.. Flipkart has its own ML platform that is used to maintain/run/host these ML models and it has also exposed interfaces and libraries that client teams use to download and use the ml Models in the application. Ads team is one such user. And as other tech stacks in flipkart goes, this one also uses mostly open source tech stack.
[Blind] Check out this post! Amazon VAS Team (Hyderabad) (Software Engineering) https://us.teamblind.com/s/O3TPeMeB
Flipkart Adtech. Higher ownership + good learnings.
VAS org is awful. Full of engineers that can hardly read a wiki, let alone code. If your friend is good then they will quickly be doing all the work.
VAS is a org with managers and shit people like Raj Goli rsgoli samir Jagnade sjagnade furkhan sfurkhan, etc.
Your friend should have given for SDE 2 in Amazon at 1.9 YOE. They generally consider for SDE 2 as well..
Wait for 6 months and apply for SDE2 position if you're not looking for an urgent switch.
SDE2 in the current job seems a bit far like 1 yr maybe. Though not liking the quality of work and impact of work too in the current job.
You should be able to apply to Flipkart for SDE2 in 6 months time. Also make sure you're getting the kind of work you're looking for. You can also make internal move in Amazon too if you don't like current team.
