Shall, I go to AWS from a stable G11 job with many years at Cisco? While no company is perfect but BLIND has a lot of anti-AWS posts. Not sure if that is directed towards AWS IT, Software Development or Sales? #sales #it #aws
Don’t think twice , you can always come back later
Amazon (all divisions) really is as bad as you read. If you have been at Cisco so long, no offense but your skills may not be competitive to position you for success at Amazon, but you'll get a big pay boost moving to another company. Find a company other than Amazon to move to.
It doesn't matter if you have been a Cisco for a while you can still be successful at Amazon. It's all about attitude, dedication and responsibility. Amazon is like any other company but with a broken culture in some divisions. It happens everywhere. BTW, lot of Cisconians are now Amazonians and they are trying to get their buddies in as well.
It's not a Cisco specific issue, but people who stay at any company for a long time lose their edge because they are focused on more narrow company specific issues.
Stay at Cisco. But if you need to move, interview get an offer from AWS then leverage it to find a better role elsewhere. All the horrible things you hear about AWS are true.
Have an offer and excited to learn about Public Cloud and add it to my skillset. Untill, these responses....I wonder. Hmm...
Which team? You can dm me for referral if you want.
It depends. What role is it? Are u a swe, solution architect(sales), network engineer or others?
Sales (AM). Which I thought usually depends on the Account/s & the Manager.
I would say ‘go for it’. I am a network engr, so not sure about culture in Sales org. But majority of enterprises are moving to Public cloud which reflects the growth of cloud and stall in vendor boxes. I think Cloud is the future and you can always come back later if u dont like it.
Worst can be only engineering. You’ll be fine OP with big pocket. Go ahead.
What is your current tc and new tc? g11 and l5 amazon offer would be more or less similar maybe 20k less than amazon.
If you will move to aws solution architect role which kind of pre-sales I would say go ahead.
I voted to leave just so that you can get that massive pay raise everyone talks about getting once they leave Cisco and come back lol. It’s a great work culture at Cisco imo, aws and Amazon is not the same, but they can pay better depending on the role!
Stay at Cisco
