TC wise Oracle sounds compelling but I would choose eBay if I were you, that is if you live in South Bay and planning to buy home in San Jose if not already, enterprise vs consumer software, etc.
+1 for Oracle, unless you'd be doing something really interesting at ebay per your interests. Also, why leave amzn with 80% unvested?
Location? Except for oracle you are making less in other places compared to amazon. If you are closer to DE 3 I would suggest stay at amzn.
+1 why leave amazon with so much invested equity?
Helpful to check http://levels.fyi

wow thanks
Why leave Amazon: my team is only adding L6s but no promo for existing L5 people in the team. Now my team has 50:50 ratio of L6:L5. If I move to another team I have to sit for 2 years again. Do you think it’s worth?
Did someone interested in keeping you in your current role tell you it would be 2 years? This is misinformation. We promote through L6 quarterly and current process let’s calibrated approver and portfolio follow promo candidate between managers. If you don’t know that and don’t have that stuff in progress you are not close. There is no reason not to promote based on current level mix. That’s asinine. Get your promo portfolio together, find a CA, find a new team if staying and getting promoted is what you want. Offers are on the table, though. You can see if they will bump your comp with that in hand. Also, find out comp adjustment Thursday before jumping so you have info.
RBMY63-what is a promo portfolio at Amazon? What is included? And what is a CA? Thanks much for any info.
Stay at amazon change teams look internally
I’d take oracle and if you don’t like it there you can always boomerang as L6
Calculate tc for each one and post that too. Don’t expect the busy folks here to do that for you and give advice on top for free 🤑🤑
