Made it to Google and Microsoft. Gonna stay at amazon.
I interviewed at both Google and Microsoft out of curiosity. And got offers at both the firms.
But gonna continue at Amazon India for now as i wouldn't want to let go the opportunity to get promoted to L6 here (SDE3).
Everything is working out well here in my team. The manager is a sweet fellow, skip level manager understands my career goals. I'm encouraged to take up ownerships and mentor new hires. Stocks have grown really well ever since I joined.
Why would I leave this job?
I know it doesn't work out well for many. 2 folks have been let go in last 2 years from my team. Sometimes the pressure gets too much, but that's what life is about and luckily I'm doing really well.
Don't wanna leave this role just for the sake of getting the Google tag. No comments about Microsoft

You are severely underpaid, take the Google offer, you also get annual refresh if you join this Monday.
Fast forward to April 2022. I got a 40% raise in base beside stock refreshers. Apparantly the decision to stay here was not bad at all.
Now I'm poaching friends over from Google. π
