Which should I pick? Masters with 2 YOE.
Are you not expecting bonuses from these companies? Also where are you coming from?
Yeah I am but I think that would be too specific. These numbers I gave are even rounded. I worked for two years at a small company. Went and did my masters, then took a break.
With 2 YOE you should try applying for SDE II positions
I tired. They all said I was very good at entry level
Take Amazon, in 2 years you will be L5, no other company has such less levels
Is DocuSign still around? Other two companies offer a lot more diversity of products for when you are ready to transfer
The only thing is that I like the team at Docusign the best. The team at Microsoft doesn’t excite me at all and I think promotion will be slower than the others
Go with the better team! Amazon and Microsoft is like playing minesweeper
Anywhere but Amazon
I’m surprised it’s gotten so many votes lol. AWS?
@OP, those people hate you. Sadists.
Join Microsoft then job hop in a year or two for SDE2
Get promoted to sde2 in MSFT is pretty easy. I think it need just managers approval
Amazon is nice on paper with all their LPs. Once you get in you know its a cult and don't expect to get comfortable any time soon.
I’ve heard this from friends that work there and they tell me it’s way more strange than how they explain it
Take what u have heard and multiply by 5! There is a reason they offer top dollar.
Only qualm about Amazon is they have so many employees that they’ll fire 80% of them and literally not give a shit. DocuSign also seems like a layoff wave is coming, you don’t need that many engineers to maintain a pdf editor. Microsoft has potential for growth due to so many of their child companies. People Ik at Microsoft rn make a really good TC after a few years of service there
I think ur spot on.
Thanks for the input!
I thought Amazon freeze hiring for L4. How did you get an offer from Amazon if you don’t mind me asking?
Idk. I was initially interviewing for L5 and I got down leveled. There’s been recent entries on Levels.fyi, not sure if they’re all new people?
Welcome to Amazon where the left and right hand does not know what their backside is doing.
Microsoft is the only right answer
I can’t believe the voting is so close
