Hi Blind,
I've received PM IC5 offers from FB and Google and a senior PM-T offer from Amazon (all in respective HQs). Thank you to blind for helping me with interview tips and negotiation.
If you were in my shoes, which offer would you pick? Please note that TC is not my main factor in selecting a job, as I'm independently wealthy.
TC: 140k, 6 YOE in PM (yes I know that my TC is low atm).
Want to see the real deal?

"you have less stress than other workers because failure for you doesn't mean homelessness like it does for immigrant tech workers from eastern Europe"
So now the fear of being homeless would be more stressful than, say, a relationship problem? Do you even understand how human emotions work? You think eating a chocolate cake would mean different kinds of happiness than eating a pizza? You're wrong. Emotional variations are same for everyone and the way one handles it is their own accomplishment. It has nothing to do with success. There are many more who commit suicide with money than with the fear of getting homeless and losing it.
Why should op be aware of their advantages? Who are you to tell them that? Op can live however they want and you have no right to tell them how they should live their life. You go live your life and let others live theirs. Don't justify your inability to be successful to other's luck.
Not a bad thing to care about WLB, maybe not a good thing for developing product. I felt people would be more productive otherwise, but I may be wrong.
Overall, Google is a great place to work, but I am buying other companies stocks.
I thought I might have been walking away from something when I told my Amazon recruiter thanks but no thanks, but serve Tal of my friends working at Amazon have been pulling 70 hours work weeks, and were not happy (some have left).
