Keep in mind of Amazon’s vesting schedule 5, 15, 40, 40.

If that is final, Microsoft. But I suspect Amazon can offer much more stock if you negotiate.

Amazon eidbfa7en$ Nov 12, 2019

Microsoft. The benefits and perks more than make up the difference.

Amazon fejj zebos Nov 12, 2019

I got a little more with 4 yoe at Amazon

Goldman Sachs baburao1 Nov 12, 2019

Negotiate for higher stocks at Microsoft. Btw learn more about that team at Microsoft. Haven't heard a lot of good things about it.

Nordstrom lWoU10 OP Nov 12, 2019

Me neither that’s what is worrisome ...😔

From a business sense AWS > MS. MS might have better short term gains but the job you land after AWS is what makes up for it. So if you want to focus on the next 2-3 years, MS. If you want long term payoff, AWS. Don’t let 20k today keep you from 200k tomorrow

Join MS and enjoy 30 hours/week so you can LC more and land a better paying job at FANG in a year. Both of these offers are low considering your yoe.

Microsoft NotYourHR Nov 12, 2019

Salary is compressing recently due to oversaturation of 'sr' level and overpaying for new grads

Apple khvcxza Nov 12, 2019

I haven't seen a compression at all. If anything, it's going up.
