Amazon vs startup offer (recent IPO early this year)

So just got an offer from these two companies and really trying to decide which route to go. Offer 1: Startup that just went IPO early this year, the role is completely remote with no restrictions on location within the US (Big plus for LCOL), title will be sr. engineering manager Base/RSU/Bonus/Signon: $250K/$250K (over 4 years)/15%/$50K (lump sum first paycheck) Refresher: $100K (4 year vest annual refreshers starting year 2 so 25K additional in comp starting Year2) TC: $400K year 1, dropping year 2 to $375K unless shares jump alongside Offer 2: L6 SDM Amazon (Atlanta) Base/RSU/Bonus/Signon: $150K/130 shares/0%/350K TC: Year 1 ~$350K Startup offer could be worth a lot more due to potential remote nature and LCOL (if I move), strong base and potential upside in equity YOE: 11 #tech #amazon #offer
