Left a hardware company to join a FANG doing the same thing, got a pay bump a long the way. Same location as before, down leveled (hardware industry inflate their level), but smaller team.
I have the feeling that at least in Amazon, things are done as a minimum viable product and then just deployed and debug in production. It is almost like the management and people we hire don't know what they are doing. This kind of work culture has taken a toll on my mental health lately.
Let's say I had been planning on going back to a hardware company, and found one that will pay me similar or even more after they give me a raise. Will it be good in the long run assuming that I hedge the potential FANG stock growth by buying them and leave for non FANG?
Has anyone done it? Am I crazy for thinking about this?
TC now: L5 230K 18 yoe
TC negotiation: Technologist 285K, equivalent to around high L6 in Amazon. Company is stable and too big to fail. Still moving fast and innovative.
Firmware for enterprise stuff, in one of the vendor.
