    Twitter. Let me tell you why.. your life will be better with wlb and you will have time to do other things besides work. Now if Amazon’s team is good, you can get that with Amazon too.. but chances are slim.

    Also Amazon’s offer is in Seattle which is expensive and rainy. I hate being here at times because after a shitty day, I really don’t want to walk in the drizzle trying to avoid puddles.

    You can move to a good weather city or anywhere literally with Twitter and live a life you want.

    You will maintain sanity with Twitter. You may learn more at Amazon. But personally, I would pick Twitter.

    • My WLB at Twitter has been pretty horrific, and when many of us have raised concern about how the promised WLB Twitter claims doesn’t really match the actual experience where it is stressful and WLB gets bad, colleagues have just acted shockingly dismissive, they equate real concerns of WLB with “whining” and basically just scream at you to quit if you don’t like it.

      I know Amazon has a bad reputation, but I actually worked with some Tweeps who came from Amazon and they regretted it, felt Twitter was huge bait & switch, as I felt too.

    Where would you live if you took Twitter remote? This matters.

    If HCOL, or even MCOL, please don't give up -70k/yr because of bLiNd PiP StOriEs
