Amazon advertising is the most toxic of all, keep that in mind

My friend at 2 yoe got ~55L/year at amazon for SDE-2 role. He didn't have any competitive offer and previous CTC was 35L. If CTC and learning are the priorities, join amazon after negotiating for 60L+. If WLB and job security is more important for you, join Microsoft.

Learning is important for me. Heard msft azure has alot to learn. Is it true?

Amazon Jstanther1 Sep 27, 2021

In general from what I have heard from friends in Amazon and Microsoft, Amazon is more fast paced and has more learning. Some of my friends are working in Azure as well which is also almost equivalent in learning. But, I will bet on Amazon on learnings front. On side note, teams can easily be changed in Amazon... Far easier than Microsft...
