I'm currently an L5 Research Scientist at Amazon and just got an offer of IC5 Research Data Scientist (formerly known as 'DS infra') from Meta. TC is still under negotiation but definitely higher than my current TC. If I stay at Amazon, I will probably get promoted within a year and have the chance to switch to Applied Scientist. Not sure if I should take the offer from Meta. Any suggestions? Current TC: 260k YoE: 5y after PhD #tech #meta #amazon #researchscientist
What's the difference between applied scientist and research scientist at Amazon? I may go through that path after master's so could you explain in short?
AS needs to pass sde1 coding bar.
Cool, thanks!
How much is the TC at Meta
Don't take the infra ds offer. You can interview with RS or MLE positions at Meta. Infra DS is no more than dashboard maker and metric tracker, working on things that infra SWE has no time to do or doesn't want to do. Very limited scope and lots of politics in the org.
Thank you for this info as well!
Why didn't you apply for the RS roles at Meta? I am an L5 Econ and 1 year out from a promotion. Thinking of applying for the RS roles at Meta.
@Amazon, did you joined Meta RDS?
