Considering move from AWS to Oracle, worth it?

2 yoe. Amazon Comp: 110000+20000+15% of 70 shares Oracle Comp: 170000 + 25% of 5000 shares. AWS has a shiny brand name, cloud business numba 1. Should I move because of TC boost?

That is a great offer from Oracle wow, I should really take a shot at it. I would take it unless you really like your team and what you do. Almost a 100k difference!

Oracle always lay off.

Lay off vs pip

Oracle PgEo55 Jun 3, 2019

Not for OCI engineers.

Pony.ai IySN58 Jun 1, 2019

It is a solid offer

Oracle den.klay Jun 1, 2019

If it's an offer from OCI, its quite risky in terms of uncertainty around frequent lay-offs, immature leadership, chaotic teams, struggling services ....

Two of my friends got pip at Amazon recently. They were great engineers. So in terms of risk, I don’t think we have less at Amazon

This!!!!!!!

Nope, don’t come! People are being laid off all the time, especially new people

Oracle l00tb0x Jun 2, 2019

Especially the ones with high salary.

Amazon Real_Santa Jun 1, 2019

What do you think why are they offering that TC to somebody with 2 yoe? No offense, but if you think it's because you're that good you'll be wrong. With a shitshow that OCI is the only way for them to get new half-decent engineers is to offer unrealistic TCs...But hey, at the end of the day, money makes b*tches right?

Amazon ByeAmz OP Jun 1, 2019

AWS is also shitshow imo though we are numba 1. Managers are all graduated from unknown schools.

Amazon Real_Santa Jun 1, 2019

There is zero correlation between work performance and school you went to. Bad managers and bad ICs are everywhere, and the reason they are bad isn't their diploma...

Oracle cb12d Jun 1, 2019

There’s a chance you might be impacted by layoffs at OCI.

Oracle den.klay Jun 1, 2019

Yup quite likely

Amazon is notorious for their toxic culture and stack ranking through PIPs
