If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
Hi Blind Family. Need help selecting an offer. I currently have 3 offers. First Offer: Private Equity Backed mid-sized company doing about $600 m annual revenue. Title is Finance Manager- FP&A Base is $140K and bonus is a 20% performance bonus. Fully Remote 2nd Offer: Chevron for an auditor role. Base is $120k plus variable bonus decided by Chevron’s BOD. Expectation is less then 10% for bonus. Hybrid position with 2 days in the office. 3rd Offer: Amazon for a a Senior Financial Analyst role. Base is $135K plus $35K signup bonus which will be paid out in cash for the first 2 years. So first 2 years cash comp at Amazon will be $170K. Fully remote for now but may be hybrid in the future. #job offer evaluation
No brainer if money talks. But since you are asking here. Then you need to ask yourself 1) what do you really want to do? Why were you looking in the first place? FP&A and auditor are totally different and have distinct subsequent career paths. 2) how important is “remote”?
Private equity backed offer is decent but I voted Amazon because cash is cash and the name is good in a resume. If you're not white and male you should only stay one year anyway. Two max. You will want to quit after a few months. It sucks
Really? Is this the workload or culture?
BIG FACTS!!
Never go to Amazon
Thanks! Do they have a crazy workload? I’ll have to juggle multiple tasks at private equity as it’s a newly formed company from 8 acquisitions so the workload is going to be crazy there as well.
Juggling at PE will give you great visibility and will be rewarding, unlike Amazon, where you'll be one amongst many and won't be able to call shots, plus the politics.
Did you negotiate the amazon offer? There should be room to get closer to 200k and get a relocation package
$200k SFA is a moonshot. Usual cap is around $185k. Not saying impossible, but don't bank on that kind of offer.
Unless they’re in SF and NYC, $200k is out of reach. It’s above the normal COL band by $15k. They have an above median band offer.
Who the hell voted Chevron?
Trolls obviously!
Thank goodness I don't invest with vanguard, energy making a killing rn.
Depends on your long term goals. I have been at Amazon for 5 years. Went from a Financial Analyst to a Sr. Product Manager now (had a few roles in between). If you want to exit Finance and learn other skills (program/product) it’s very easy to do that here with a rotation. TL;DR - go with Amazon.
Wish i was in your shows. I interviewed for SFA role at Amazon about a year ago and didnt get it :(
Amazon and PE owned firms have higher risk, so it depends on your risk appetite. Amazon will look best on a resume.
Amazon is the best bet to me. FP&A is already very stressful so being a manager is alot of work. Amazon is paying you similar plus you don’t have as much responsibility
If you can put your own money on PE deals then do that
