I'm 23, tier-1 college, had already accepted the Goldman Sachs offer but got Amazon London offer later. Here are the details: YOE: 1 Amazon Prime Video London(After 1 negotiation): L4 SDE in Web App team - Mostly frontend work Base: 62k gbp Year1 bonus: 23.5k gbp Year2 bonus: 18.5k gbp Stocks: 30 units Relocation: 9k usd TC: 89k gbp(year 1) Goldman Sachs Bangalore: Analyst - Global Markets Division - Strats team with high visibility TC: 34L (27L + 7L) INR I would've normally taken Amazon but I've heard GS Strats roles are highly valued and has good promos and bonuses, so confused between the two. I'm more inclined to take Amazon's offer due to the London location and closeness to tech domain but worried about career growth as I've heard there is a negligible yearly salary increament at Amazon and it would take another 2 years to get promoted. I want to explore places as I'm young but not at the cost of career growth. Is Amazon TC a lowball? Should I negotiate more? Not aware of London salaries. How bad is pip culture in Amazon PV London? How's bad is oncall? How different would be the career growth in both orgs? How is WLB in GS Strats GMD India? Is it worse than Amazon? Which brand name is better? How much would be savings comparing both cities? How different would be quality of life? How difficult would it be to change companies on UK Visa? If anyone has any idea about any of the teams/orgs, please share insights. People who are voting please share your reason too! Current TC: 20L INR #engineering #software #swe #goldmansachs #amazon #london #indiasalary #bangalore #worklifebalance #techcareer #faang
What's your current role and tech stack ?
I'm SDE-1 and do nothing at job so tech stack doesn't matter
It's not a low ball at all and Amazon is better than GS by miles. Go for it
Can someone give me a rough estimate of how much the OP can save in a month with the London offer? Consider a medium lifestyle.
If I consider only the base of 62k and assuming OP lives in a private room in a shared apartment, they can save anywhere between 1500-1800 pounds per month easily.
What if you take whole 89k GBP in account? I'm myself confused about what would be the monthly expenses?
don't choose gs. how did you get the amazon offer? applied online?
gs strats will pigeon hole you into internal technologies
Yeah applied online

Go for Amazon, you are young can explore places. Being in London will open many good tech opportunities for future and Amazon is not that bad at L4.
Yeah even I feel the same
