Amazon Berlin vs Goldman Sachs India

Jan 15 19 Comments

I happen to receive job offers from Amazon Berlin and Goldman Sachs India. Please help me choose the best offer.

Amazon Berlin- 62,000 Euro base+ 14,000 euro joining bonus first year + 2000 Euro stock first year (Total stock grant is 36k Euro) + 7500 euro relocation bonus (no need for bills so as good as cash)= 85k Euro
Visa- EU Blue Card

Goldman Sachs India- 23 LPA (Base) + 6,50,000 (Signin bonus) + 7,00,000 (One time payment)= 36,50,000 INR

Please help me choose the offer based on compensation, future career prospects, and growth. If possible, please do give insights.

Some doubts I have:
1. Will being in Amazon Berlin increase my chances of getting calls from companies in London, which I assume has a different visa compared to if I was in India?
2. If I plan to come to India after 3-4 years in case of Amazon Berlin, will I not be lowballed?

      But their main focus is on LP. Isn't it?🥲

    • For LP, you just have to cook and blabber random stuff. Just exaggerate the work/internships you've done in the past and you're good to go lol

      Don't worry about it much. It's pretty much the same for every location in Europe for Amazon

  • GS india offer is gonna stay pretty stagnant for atleast 2 years.. 6.5 lakh bonus is just one time.. it’ll be hard to get overall bonus exceed 10!! forget about 7+6.5.. but the experience overall depends on the team. overall, amazon offer looks better bcz of 2 reasons

    -Europe has better work culture in general.
    -Amazon can easily allow you to relocate to US in 1-2 years ofc if you do fine job and have decent impact.

    To answer ur questions:
    1) hardly any diff. tier1 firms hardly care about the cost.. it’s the legal complication that stops them.
    2) you can be lowballed anytime. even if u work in google, FB might lowball you in same location. don’t think u should worry about it. strategy to avoid lowball is totally diff (competing offer)

    • also I agree with polygo… atleast learn O level german. language barrier might make you lonely or make your experience bad.

      and here’s some Boomer talk: Don’t just think about comp, invest in experiences. Time is the asset you lose nonetheless. you need to decide if it’s gonna be fun exp with TC compromise or day night working on something u hate hoping to see better tomorrow (spoiler alert, it’s just a dangling carrot in front)
