Livongo DS vs Amazon BIE

I am having a hard time deciding between Livongo Data scientist role (California) vs Amazon BIE L4 (Seattle). Livongo TC: Base + yearly bonus: 110k + 5% Stocks: $160k (4 years vesting) Amazon TC: Base: 110k, sign on: 20k Stocks:35k (4 year vesting) YOE: 4 years (not in US) I feel Livongo's stock /teladoc's stock is already inflated. And I am new to US trying to plan a long term career - not sure going for a brand like Amazon would help or going to California Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for your suggestions in advance. #datascience #data #dataanalytics

Jumbolink is right. Amazon will look better on your resume and will open more doors long term.

Tele health is a very promising future industry. The most exciting IMO Tough choice-I would go with Livongo

Livongo might give you a better experience and that will help you long term than a BIE at Amazon. BIE at Amazon sucks growth learning and pay wise in the long run.

Prob bie and internal tranfer or work with team for role change to ds within first year. Also use livongo as counter for negotiation if you haven't.

Amazon Kjdy17 Aug 17, 2020

Amazon offer can go higher. You can probably get 160 TC. You don't even need a competing. Just tell em how much you like amazon you'll accept an offer immediately for X amount.

Did you negotiate the stock equity for Livongo? I’m looking at a different role (non-IT) and the offer has lower stock. Any guidance on negotiating stock equity is appreciated.

I just got an offer as well with very low stock, wondering if it is because the Teladoc merger. Did you negotiate for a higher stock?
