Bloomberg Snr SWE, in office in nyc but they pay $75 a day for going to office, TC offered 240K (not including stipend), 10K relocation (currently in Fort lauderdale FL) Amazon SWE TC: 310K (fully remote) Current TC: 220K 2.5 yoe Edit: Talked to manager today and he is talking to upper management and HR to push a retention package, will know more this week but he said they have no problem matching Bloomberg including stipend Update 2: Got a call from manager that rention is approved and also will be due for promotion soon which can bring up to higher than Amazon offer. Decision: Stay.
which team in Amazon? FYI I have worked at Amazon for a long time.
Just set the boundaries with Amazon. With the help of Blind, you can actually come out ahead in a PIP if your manager is the one cutting corners. Many people were taken out after complaints to HRBP on policy violations.
Have you considered the tax impact? at 240k in NYC your take home even after stipend is lower than what you currently get at Twitter while being in Florida. You may not even consider the upside potential of private equity shares and refreshes when B is all cash and no refreshes. Also at that TC I guess you are SWE 1 and you can get a promotion very soon with 2.5 yoe and your TC will be way higher than 240k (maybe 280K on average) while being fully remote in Florida. Maybe chose Amazon if you like TC but definitely not Bloomberg
The additional ~12% in taxes in nyc don’t make this a good deal for you.
stay in Fl. go to amazon and enjoy that TC

Amazon if money is the only thing you want. In Blind higher TC always wins all the polls. But think about long term growth, WLB with these options
Isn’t their vesting schedule pretty draconian? Like you’ve got four years of golden handcuffs and you can get PIP’d out of >70% of your TC in the first 2.5 years—or is that an exaggeration?
Exaggeration. First two years signing bonus make up for shares.
It's definitely between Amazon and twitter. Bloombergs return to office policy and high tax rate in New York make it the worst option. How's your wlb at Twitter? How much do you value wlb compared to TC? Answering these should help you decide between Amazon and Twitter
Tax free Ft Lauderdale to uber expensive NYC. No way!
Also I’d move to Miami—unless the more cozy, leaseback FLFL vibes are your thing

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
70k more + fully remote… Bloomberg RTO + stipend probably can’t equate to 20k?
Just worried about the culture and WLB there but yeah financially it makes more sense
