You can probably transfer to one of the Amazon teams here ( Alexa, Pillpack, the new Go office, Twitch) unless you're done with Amazon as a whole

I didn’t know that there’s the new go office in Boston. That’s great news!! 😀

Also Amazon Robotics and Audible

Google has a major presence in Boston too.

Is the Boston office home for independent projects or is it more like a satellite office to scout talent for Mountain View ?

Pretty sure all travel products (trips, flights, hotels, etc) are based in Boston. Also big on Android, YouTube and Chrome I heard in my interviews. It's also their second biggest office in the East I think.

What do folks think about Facebook Boston ?

Microsoft has an office in Cambridge. I don't know the size of the office, but I do know that there are PMs working out of there. In addition there are customer facing roles in case you are interested in sales or marketing e.g. pre-sales, solutions selling, advocacy,...

I think big on office365 and Xamerin, at least a few years ago, probably more.

In addition to the obvious choices, there are also a lot of specialized companies headquartered out of Boston that spun out of MIT, e.g. Mathworks, Aspen Technology, Broad institute,... Have you considered those?

I haven’t, but I definitely should. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Toast if you want a start-up (just raised another round $400 million at $4.9 billion valuation).

How is the pay at toast ?

Definitely not FANG level for engineering, but they do give you paper money.
