    $328k TC over 4 years (not including refreshers). Big decrease in TC but you might be burnt out at Amazon and the benefits at MS make up probably $25k of the gap.

      This is the main reason I’m accepting this drop because of being burnout.

      There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this reason. Wishing you better mental health!

    This helps other 64s who have been at the company for a while realized how bad of a deal they are getting.

    • If your priority date is April 2021 then why you need to stay at Microsoft. Me and my friend changed many jobs and file GC with new company. I am not if you are aware or not Priority date will remain same even new company file fresh GC.

      That’s fair, I was a tech lead to aws teams for the past 3 years. Was leading projects that are managed by 10+ teams.

      I have a good reputation at Amazon so far and my leadership is trusting my work but I just want to leave and change in less stressful environment.

  • That's like 300k per year for 10yoe. Doesn't look too good
