I recieved an offer from Ebay (Bay Area) for Applied researcher 1 and from Amazon (Seattle) for Applied Scientist (L4). The team in Amazon is not yet confirmed going through sell calls now and it has been a painfully slow process. Ebay offer Base : 155k (10% target bonus) Sign on : 20k Stocks : 100k over 4 years TC : ~200k Experience : ~2 years (no PhD) Is the offer fair or should I wait for Amazon or should I negotiate with ebay? Please help me with a comment if you choose either of the options!
I don’t love working for Amazon and I’m about to leave. But I have heard some awful horror stories about eBay that puts my stories to shame.
Oh damn. Was this a specific case you heard or was it a general trend? If you don't mind can you elaborate?
I have a friend at eBay. Two managers literally started yelling at each other during one of her meetings. I guess there were a lot of finger pointing about products.
I think that research capabilities of Amazon are stronger than that of eBay (in case you want to focus on more academical work while staying in the industry)
I doubt you can get 200k with L4 at Amazon seattle
My friend makes about 210k as L4 applied scientist. Plus no state tax.
Is the hiring manager Ger at eBay? If yes it’s a great team to work at
I didn't quite understand this question. GER? What do you mean?
You can get 50k sign on at least
What group at eBay? I just got AR2 for recommendations group
I will be with the computer vision team. Did you accept your offer?
I thought Amazon requires phd for Applied Scientist?
They take L4 applied scientists with good research record and only masters.
