Fidelity vs Amazon

I have an offer from Fidelity NJ and currently in loop rounds for Amazon for a Senior DBA/SDE role. I know for sure Amazon will pay higher but I don't have an offer yet and it will take time while Fidelity offer will expire soon. I'm worried about Work/Life balance for which Ive heard good things at Fidelity compared to AMZN. Yoe: Almost 5. Current TC: 120k Fidelity offer TC: 170k 122 base + sign on + Bonus + (401k +Profit). Is this a good step up, especially considering the COL of NY/NJ area? #tech #database #Fidelity #Amazon

Base seems low for 5 YOE, I'm assuming it's sort of a DE role. I'm not sure how well Fidelity pays but just judging on the basis of your YOE and role. Can you check H1b data website? That's quite helpful.

Amazon can be pretty hectic. Not worth especially if you have a family or planning to start one
