Help Decide: AWS ProServe vs Google vs Dolby
AWS L5: ML Scientist Base: $185k RSU: ~$140k @ 4 yrs Bonus Year 1: $85k Bonus Year 2: $80k Google L4: ML Engineer Base: $140k RSU: ~$160k @ 4 yrs Bonus: ~$15k Dolby: Applied CV/Imaging Engineer Base: $189k RSU: ~$200k @ 4 yrs Bonus: ~$15k/yr All locations: Bay Area (Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, SF) Current TC: $200k / yr YoE: MS + 4 Background: Team at Amazon ProServe looks new and exciting; Google team matching was with a 'ok' team; Dolby position is exciting and smaller company than Amazon/Google
Which city/area are these numbers for?
All bay area. Edited the post to reflect that.
Try Google brain
Numbers say "Amazon" hands down. Switch after 2 years. Don't stay longer imho.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Ford pays that much?!
Dolby double gg
Google seems like a low ball
Amazon offer seems solid. Lots of areas in the company to avoid but ProServe applied ML should actually get you a lot of real-world experience with ML problems. Just have to be ok with the potential for travel soon.
Appreciate it. I am okay with travel.
Proserve has travel - after covid. Not sure if you can compare that with other offers. I would pick Dolby. And Amazon numbers are always higher for year 1. Look at number for year 3 and 4.
Dolby does look like a fun role. You’ll always have the boring G and Amazon roles to return to.
Request to convert numbers like 200000 to 200k pls. My boomer eyes get confused reading big numbers without separators
Done. Thanks for pointing that out.
Did you not negotiate with G yet? The offer is like bare minimum for L4 in bay area
