Offer evaluation - Amazon (current) v/s Snap v/s Coupang

I am currently an SDE-3 at Amazon, on H1-B. I do have my i140. Snap's L4 is not a terminal level, which makes me a bit nervous having to go through the promotion struggle again. Plus their stock is meh, which can be both a good or bad thing. Coupang WLB seems bad because HQ is in Korea, but the offer is for Staff and comp is high. My heart somewhat says NO for Coupang due to unsure culture. Please help 🙏

What is exact Coupang level?

Lyft eulbmob Nov 5, 2023

+1. If coupang staff == google l6, I think 406k is a bit low?

On blind tc is king why even posting? Go with your gut

Snap HHHx46 Nov 5, 2023

Snap, although I myself running from it. At the current price the reward/risk worths it imo

Meta ggglff Nov 10, 2023

I heard exactly the same advice 1.5 years ago. I’m glad I picked Meta.

Your manager screwed your tc In Amazon

Why is coupang bonus so high?

Amazon prepNgtfo Nov 5, 2023

How come your Amazon TC is below SDE3 band? Did you get promoted recently? Personally, I wouldn’t move from one chaos to another chaos / unstable company in the current market (unless you must move from Amazon immediately). If its possible, you may wanna try getting a slightly better option.

Amzn l6 to snap l4 is a downlevel imo even if tc is higher.

Amazon @L9 Nov 5, 2023

330k for L6. Ugh
