These 3 companies appears same tier and gives around same TC in both Seattle and Bay Area. Given same TC, which one would you work for ? TC : 170K YOE : 5
It is great to a customer of Amazon and it is terrible to be an employee. Work somewhere else and shop with Amazon to get those rock bottom prices delivered to your door in one hour.
It's not really rock bottom pricing anymore. A costco membership is cheaper than prime, plus costco is superior value by far. I could buy a whole package of 64 TP rolls at Costco for $6. Amazon would charge me $10 for half that
Msft has better perks than Salesforce, Salesforce has no bonus and stock refresh
This is definitely not true. Salesforce has both. Stock refresh amounts depend on your team and manager and I’ve heard they used to be very low before. Now they are pretty good
Salesforce has 10% bonus for L3 equivalent and 15% for L4/L5 equivalent (SMTS/LMTS). Goes up further from there
Amazon is a FANG, MSFT and Salesforce are not.
And why would anyone care if the pay is same ?
The wlb will be good in both MS and Salesforce. Given the same compensation, obviously those are preferable. Probably Salesforce in Bay area and MS in Seattle. But in the initial years of career, might choose Amazon for the learning curve.
