Hi All,

I have offers from Amazon and Nvidia. I am trying to evaluate both the opportunities. Please help me make an informed decision.

Offer details:
Amazon:
Role: SDE-1
Team: Not yet sure
Location: Bangalore, India
First year TC: 22L Fixed + 9.5L first year bonus + RSUs

Nvidia
Role: IC3
Team: Build Infrastructure Team
Location: Bangalore, India
Offer: Verbal confirmation, figures to be discussed. I had quoted 20L base (this was prior to Amazon offer) in the HM round.

Learning is a priority over work life balance, but seeing Amazon's reviews on Blind is slightly concerning. On the other hand, I like Nvidia but not sure with my growth as a software engineer there, Nvidia being primarily a hardware company. Suggestions and guidance needed.

YOE: 1.6
Current TC: 20L (Fixed + RSUs + Bonus)

Few other questions and details:
• Amazon recruiter hinted that I may be joining a new team being established, hence I've asked to setup a discussion with the manager I will be joining under before accepting and signing the offer letter. Suggestions on what questions I should ask to the manager?
• Is switching teams within Nvidia possible after some time?

    Build infra team doesn't sound that interesting to me. I would have picked Amazon if I was in your place

      Exactly my concern, from the name it seems like more of an ops role. Thinking of first getting the compensation figures from Nvidia recruiter, then ask a few questions to the hiring manager to get a clearer picture.

      Also, is it possible to switch to other teams within Nvidia, maybe after some time?

    I see Nvidia doing very well in the future. I'd also presume work in general would be more interesting. And no, they don't do just hardware, they are doing a lot of interesting stuff in different areas in software, including but not limited to AI.

    Yeah, but it is not as easy as other companies. A lot depends on your manager and it can't be done till you complete an year
