Did I make the right call leaving AWS for Microsoft?

I was just promoted to an L5 ISR at AWS until November 2021:
Base: $115 + variable + stock = $250k OTE
I have only 5 YOE
I jumped for a Microsoft SSP role, L64
Base: $160k Variable: $130k Stock $60k/yr
MSFT OTE = $350k
With AWS boosting its internal comp and how hard targets seem at Microsoft I’m having second thoughts. Only major benefit is WLB is so good here.
My manager also keeps hinting they might just give me all of my quota via a quota relief plan because I entered into an awful situation and am driving well on my commitments.
Thoughts? If you are at Microsoft, is this common to relieve quota?

MSFT is a serious threat and a formidable competitor for ALL companies. So many ppl sleeping on MSFT. Sit tight, work hard, look for upward mobility in MSFT. Dont let the FUD get to u either. Solid company, you're literally working for arguably the biggest company in the world. Congrats!
Also in my segment almost everyone hit/ exceeded in 2021. This year nobody is close and they are exploring quota relief
But you can always boomerang so overall good decision.
