Before you start, yes I know it’s terrible and awful and all that. But the fact is Deloitte is not great either and between Deloitte low TC and low WLB and a higher TC and low Work life balance, I pick higher TC. So let me know if you want to refer me Or let me know an email of a good recruiter you like Also person closest to my PIP’ing date to the month I’ll Venmo you 5$ Blind Tax TC 73k Washington DC Role title Data Science YOE: 1 #Amazon #AWS
Choose Amazon, it's a no brainer. And then try to find better options during your notice period, using Amazon offer as leverage.
Look I don’t want to burst anyones bubble but as someone who has worked for Deloitte and currently working at Amazon; I hate to say it but of the two evils Deloitte is better. I have just had a mini nervous breakdown and Deloitte was crazy, bias with low TC but my mental and physical health was still somewhat stable! Amazon is HELL! I am desperately searching for a way out! Anyway each to their own. I wish you all the best!
Well let me help you with a way out. You can just Quit. As simple as that. And as you were fine with low tc so you are already making double at amazon so sitting without job for some time should be ok. Afterall why would you stay in hell
Can you share you story
No pip, you’ll do great ❤️
What are you looking to do? If you're a tech consultant (does Deloitte do that?) We have Professional Services. It's not nearly like the stuff you read here on Blind which mostly applies to SDEs.
But why not one of the many other companies that do pay well too?
Are you offering a referral?
Well, I understand the reasoning behind. You can still use Amazon as a stepping stone. But we did warn you, it's way worse from inside. DM for referrals.
DM’d
Those who say shit about Amazon probably are already sitting on a huge pile of cash and probably have never needed to work hard in their life. Ignore that noise. Money matters in the end. Only you can decide what is most important for you, WLB or money or fancy job title etc.
While I agree that people who pile on Amazon are doing so because they're well off, it's a stretch to say they haven't worked hard in their life, you normally don't get into FAANG unless you've worked hard. I agree with the conclusion though, OP should choose Amazon as it's definitely an upgrade.
