Probably depends on the team you’d be on and the work you’d be doing

Let’s say even the team would be the same.

Is CoL really adjusted? 100k in Seattle == 165k in Cupertino (says Payscale) Honest answer is it depends on what project you think would be more fun to work on (impact, problem space, tech stack, people, etc) and which city you’d rather be in. Company for company is kind of a wash. AMZN might have a stronger focus on science right now but I don’t have much insight into APL
