In Visa as a Sr software engineer making less than 100k Base a year. (Almost 2 years exp now) Have two offers that i am considering : Oracle OCI : IC2+ 220k TC (150k Base + 20 Signon + 4000 RSU) Amazon : SDE1 170k TC (150 Base + 19 Signon + 43k worth stocks) Should I choose amazon for the better work (I'm assuming?) or OCI for the compensation. I'm scared about the lay offs in Oracle/ I had other offers (MSFT/Twitter/FB) which I declined. Any thoughts will help me decide.
OCI for a year then come into Amazon as an SDE II
I like that advice

Hey OP. Can you please share your interview experience with OCI?
For another post. But honestly it was kind of simple and not much of a challenge. I liked Twitter and fb much more. Microsoft and Amazon interviewers were more knowledgeable and respectful. Oracle was a bad interview tbh
Oh. Why would you say bad experience with Oracle?
How was your interview with OCI I am in the process myself. Any resources?
See above
@willsmithy Did you do a phone screen?
Declined FB and Twitter because?
Real_bezos, nice! I declined Twitter because i didn't like the work on the team, and Facebook because they would not budge on compensation
How much did FB offer? What was the role? Did you know you would get refreshers and promotions and hikes at FB?
Remember Amazon will have no refreshers for the first 4 years so the comp difference is even more pronounced.
Amazon or FB would be the most competitive
OCI for the money for sure.
You declined FB with such competing offers? They would have matched or gone above I think. 😱
Recruiter took the decision and said no, tbh i think i pressed him a lot
That sucks! Yea, I agree with below Amazon user get more experience and come in at a higher level gluck 👍🏻
