Shopify Offer vs AWS Offer Expected

Aug 5, 2021 30 Comments

I recently received a verbal offer from Shopify and I'm expecting one from AWS soon. The verbal one from Shopify for L6 is ~100K less than the one I'm expecting from AWS (based on what I've read they offer for their L6 ~350K).

Shopify said I was close enough to be Staff at Shopify soon (not sure how soon that'd be).

As we know by now, AWS is going to suck the life out of me. But the allure of FAANG on my resume is very enticing. I honestly don't know what to do.

If there's an offer from AWS, I'll have a hard time deciding, otherwise Shopify is great any-day of the week for me!

Thoughts?

Current TC: 190K (300K with stock appreciation)
YOE: 13

Edit: AWS passed on the offer. No feedback. Fuck β€˜em
