Hi guys,
Need your help. I'm trying to choose between my two offers, here are the details:
Amazon.com
Base: 112k,
Stocks: 80k ( 5% first year, 15% second year, 20% every six months after)
Location: Seattle/Bellevue
Team: unknown, will find out 60 days before joining
Microsoft
Base: 104k
Stocks: 160k over 3.5 years
Location: Atlanta - new office opening up, will open in July, same time as I start so everyone will be ramping up together.
Team: Azure-compute
Sign on and relocation for both are similar.
At this point, I do not know what team I will be in at Amazon, vs. at Microsoft the teams seem interesting but most of my teammates would also be new hires ramping up together. Manager however, will be from the Redmond campus. Microsoft is paying much more in terms of stocks, but Amazon is at headquarters. Is it worth moving to Atlanta? Any insights would be helpful.
I am a new grad, soon to complete my masters with no prior work ex so I'm looking to learn a lot, really fast! I've heard learning at Amazon is a lot, but then there's the problem of unknown team and bad wlb.
Thanks.

All that said, despite cost of living being lower in Atlanta I'd probably pick Seattle every time. Likely biased since I live there. 😅
If the base is the most important metric for you keep in mind that Washington does not have a State income tax (so point for Amazon).
Anyways, best of luck. 😊
