    Amazon SDE 2 has much more autonomy and responsibility. Amazon has fewer levels than Microsoft, so L5 is much broader of a range than SDE 2 at Microsoft. Amazon L5 corresponds to Microsoft L61 - L64, though some L64s do get hired at L6.

  • It depends actually.

    Pay: Amazon (heard it’s 300k plus). Microsoft won’t come close at all…maybe 200k max.

    Wlb: Microsoft

    Benefits: Microsoft

    Culture: Microsoft, NO PIP like Amazon although you can be managed out.

    The question is: are Microsoft advantages worth the 100k difference in pay? I don’t think so.

    Still, I’d choose Microsoft. I’m just a new grad so you probably don’t want to listen to me. Learning wise, I think Microsoft has been awesome so far (modern tech stack, plenty of responsibility, great project and amazing wlb with the regular on-call).

    Best of luck.

  • Well you can get interviews from any of these company so if you need little extra time for ramp up given that you are coming from consulting.

    MSFT will be a better option to grow and hit bigger home run in the next jump.
