Why fb to amzn? Which team may I ask?

Facebook ldiot OP Jan 7, 2020

4 year cliff, TC dropped significantly, exploring the market. The team is under AWS.

Jump to AWS for a year and then interview back.

Better to stay at FB. With perks at FB, the money is about the same

Zillow Group Enceladus Jan 7, 2020

Assuming op’s 4y cliff can be compensated at FB, Amazon’s 4y average TC is 352k+, FB perks worth 50k per year?

Amazon bakchod Jan 7, 2020

Even now, OP makes 300k after the cliff I assume. It’s better to interview somewhere else and get >400K with 12 years of experience. Note that Amazon doesn’t give cash bonus. OP might not even get refreshers until 5th year at Amazon.

Good offer

Sde3 or something else? For l6 sde3 it’s not great...

Amazon RiQc20 Jan 7, 2020

It's a little bit above middle of the band for SDE3 in seattle

Amazon NJCL65 Jan 7, 2020

Yeah, readme, this offer is an above bar offer for L6. I agree with RiQc20.

Recently joined as L6 with a tad less than your offer. Looks good to me.

What’s your level at msft and yoe? I heard many failed story on L6 loop. So wondering how to succeed

Microsoft germnshepr Feb 23, 2020

I was L62 at MS. Yoe 5 to 9, depending how you count it.
