    These days Google low balls you while Amazon high balls because no one wants to join

    Ppl voting Google are being delusional from Blind echo chamber. The numbers don’t lie

    • New TCs and current TCs are completely different things. Google may offer less initial TC, but they have great refreshers every year instead of bananas. So long term is much better. Also Amazon stocks are pretty much flat for almost a year already vs. Google grew 2x (so existing TCs jumped up significantly). However the second is definitely not an indication that it will continue in the future.

    Amazon pays like $270 to $350k TC for 3 YOE now in Bay Area. Amazon with competing offers pay highest in industry after Snap to junior and senior developers.

    Amazon is desperate. Meanwhile, Google nowadays love lowballing hard. Two peers I know ditched Google for Amazon due to lower TC and garbage team matching process, and I ditched Google onsite myself moment I got offer at unicorn because I knew Google wouldn't be able to compete.
    Google just isn't competitive anymore. Rather work at Pinterest or Snap any day of the week. I believe in TC, not some company brand name kool aid.

    Anyone voting Google is either delusional or hasn't checked out the actual job market recently. Amazon really really pays. It really is that desperate.

  • Amazon. At least in India. Don't need a poll to confirm this. Google treats candidates like shit. Their process time is so long that people get frustrated just by the wait and join elsewhere. Plus they barely match your current tc. Always unwilling to negotiate. Personally, I will still join Google over Amazon because of other reasons but G is not the paymaster anymore for sure.

    Google. Amazon -may- make a high offer but that’s where it ends. That high offer will probably be out of band, meaning TCT will pull your TC down.

    Google will give actual refreshers regardless of your current TC, and your TC will actually make decent increases on promo.

    Finally, look at AMZN and GOOG performance over the last year. (Hint: your GOOG stonks would be worth about double their value, and AMZN would barely be worth more)

    • This is good info rustacean. I have an offer from Amazon and the comp is definitely higher than band, but this info makes me reevaluate if I should consider it or not.

      TCT seems like a total scam. If they believe your market rate to get you in the door is higher than TCT that should be the floor of your TCT

    Imagine enjoying Google WLB at Amazon and getting paid what Google pays. That has been me last 5 years. Though hitting the cliff soon (which I would have hit at Google as well, plus Amazon stock grew faster than Google during this time).
