Hi team, I have a few offers but I have to decide between Amazon Austin location and Bloomberg NYC location. Amazon role SDE1 RETAIL team Tc: 220k Already filed visa transfer, don’t know how to say no politely given the layoffs Idk there might be a chance that they put me on deny-list but does not have more info about it. Is Amazon doors be closed after reneging forever?? BBG Senior SRE role TC: 280k Role has SDE side of things mostly but from infra stand point. Fragomen wants visa docs as soon as possible, delaying due to Amazon offer. Inclined to join BBG due to senior role, might be able to interview for SDE2/3 after 2-3 yrs down the line. If it comes to that, this would be my first time declining a FAANG offer so quite a bit nervous 😬 Pls help in choosing the right path. Happy to share more info if u have any questions. EDIT: Thanks everyone for ur responses. I have been informed by someone at Amazon that the team I would be joining is very small and not generating revenue, sure, the work seems very interesting but in the next layoffs it is likely that the team would be wiped out. Not taking that risk especially on visa. #tech #engineering #software #swe#bloomberg#bloombergbonus#amazon#amazonaws#google#googleamazon#faang#offers

Pls mention ur POV for BBG.
More pay , Amazon downlevel , Amazon retail is not stable atm It’s more like there are too many cons of Amazon rather than prod for for bbg
Join Amazon - so when they have to pick one to fire, it’s easy for the manager .
Funny u say that it is possible by the time I join Amazon, I don’t even have the same manager
😂 i guess getting deny-listed might not be that bad
BBG without a doubt.
Do u have some denylist if so how long is it in affect?
As per your offer it seems great for you to pick BBG stay for 1-2 years and then re-interview as L5. Also it’s better to get in at higher levels at Amazon. L4s get crushed a lot because of ambiguity. There is no deny list if you don’t join .
Yes If I join Amazon now and I have to BBG immigration team last paystubs etc
Idk how much of communication there is between Managers and Immigration team, from my experience not alot
BBG. At Amazon, my group had 30% layoffs and newest hires were the ones let go
Great and here my Amazon manager said no impact
Lol, never trust a manager. That too an Amazon manager! Join bloomberg, no doubt. Don't worry about reneg, it's Amazon. They won't bat an eye when they PIP you.
Would you ban amazon in future if they rescind your offer?
Nice one, I am much more kinder than Amazon in that regards
Amazon might be a risk if you want to start PERM process.
how is broadridge? had a recruiter reach out recently and looking my way out of amazon
Pay difference is huge, lower pay wlb is good
Pick Amazon and move to an AWS team ASAP. I think you’ll learn way more than BBG if you want to be a dev. Also I mean do you want to be an SRE? If so great take BBG
