Prestige poll for my offers
Currently at Amazon as L4 SDE1, TC 162K, YOE 2.5 yrs, been at Amazon for 1 yr 8 month. Got Indeed offer L1 SDE1, first year TC 181K (due to sign on), after that 165K Should I leave Amazon for Indeed? Or should I turndown Indeed and keep interviewing? What's important for me in order: 1. Effort it takes to advance to SDE2 level 2. WLB 3. Job security, peace of mind, especially in this economy 4. Money Amazon pros: MAY BE able to promote to L5 SDE2 a little sooner than jumping to Indeed. As a larger company with various source of income from multiple business areas (AWS, retail, Ads etc), maybe safer from lay offs during this economy? Amazon cons: pip/focus pressure and anxiety. Right now not in pip, but you never know 162K TC for the average Amazon workload seems like low value Indeed pros: WLB Indeed cons: Read thru Blind comments, seems like career growth and advancement isn't good especially for early career. Joining as L1 SDE1 may reset my timeline toward SDE2 (terminal level for my career goal)? Single business area of recruiting, given all the lay offs and hiring freezes, Recruit Holding stock free falling, how safe is Indeed from lay offs? #software #engineering #indeed #amazon #layoffs
It doesn’t seem worth it to go L1 to L1
Decline indeed unless hr gives you SWE 2 level. Pay difference is too low to take the switch. If you care about wlb a lot then take indeed and you will be happy.
I was exactly where you are, a bit less yoe, but got upleveled in the interview and choose Indeed. It’s very recession proof because indeed is not used for high tech bro jobs and not limited for U.S. market. Indeed is very prestigious as it is the Google a search for jobs plus you already have Amazon on the resume. Indeed treated me better right from the start. When I joined Amazon last year I got refurbished MacBook 2018, when I joined Indeed I got the newest most expensive M1 max 2021. The career growth is up to you. Your manager will tell you that they are there to match your preferences of career pace. tl;dr: feel happy to leave PIP factory myself, but you should have got an uplevel to make a confident move. I would be still inclined to join as an SDE-1
Nonsense. Most of Indeed is tech jobs. Most places advertise on LinkedIn and Indeed at same time.
Maybe that’s what recommended to you? Indeed has NOT only tech jobs
Wait for promo, or keep interviewing for one level up.
I always thought of indeed as a third class product and another Dice.com until I turned to Blind and found they pay very competitively to FAANG and have engineers from FAANG joining them. 😳
That’s exactly what I thought. Left Amazon and doubled my TC with indeed. They are just less “tech bro” focused, and we tend to use LinkedIn more
Switch then go back to amazon, sde 1 now goes up to 240k just sayin
Dude. L5 sde pay band starts at 252k at amazon. Also, amazon is more stable in the current economic situation. I have no clue how the heck you're even considering a lateral switch at same TC lol
Definitely stay. You are 1 year and 8 months in already. That much closer to promotion. If you jump, you are starting over.
