I accepted offer from Microsoft for sde 2, but have gotten offer from amazon sde 2 Location : HYDERABAD, INDIA MICROSOFT : 28/6/3/75K RSU over 4 years. TC for 1 year : 49 Lakhs AMAZON : 28/17/25 STOCKS OVER 4 YEARS. TC for 1 year : 48 Lakhs YoE 4 I am looking for a place with decent work, preferably something which is not very company specific and more open source. Work life balance is not a priority but taking some time out for yourselves daily should be easy. The TC looks fine in both and minor difference on that doesn't bother me. Edit : How long does promotions usually take in both the places like L6 in Amazon vs 63/64 in Microsoft.
Depends on the team which you are joining
Amazon definitely has a lot of stuff that you can use outside Amazon as well. Good part is they're migrating a bunch of internal things to AWS as well.
OP, what is your current TC breakup?
Amazon team?
Choose Amazon if you want to jump again in future. Otherwise choose MS to stay for 10+ years.
why is that? Is it that you would not be able to crack interviews after working in msft? Actually I am in similar situation so trying to understand.
Is it l62 in MS ?
Yes
L62 at 4yoe?
It is achievable. My friend did it at 3.5. Top Indian engg college. Very smart guy.
How about l63?
What is 06 in MS offer?
What were the questions asked and how did you prepare?
LeetCode top 100, total 250 Grokking + youtube for system design DS Algo were medium in both, System design rounds were good.
