YoE - 5 Current TC - 190k Preferences : wlb(35-40h), Nice culture If you suggest remote offer, suggestions about locations would be helpful too. All the remote offers are uniform across US. I have negotiated this part. Personally, thinking about Dallas or Raleigh Latch 240k Remote Starbucks 200k Remote RedHat 220k Remote OCI 290k Bay Area (Hybrid) AWS 280k Bay Area (Hybrid)
Which role?
AWS is a huge wake up call for you current wlb balance. Look at the take home TC for something like Redhat in Dallas vs 280k in Bay area with high taxes and cost of living. Also look at TC per hours worked. AwS on-call and operations is no joke and expect at least 50-60 hours a week. Choose wisely. I say go with Redhat for culture and wlb and remote
OCI is 14*7 region build work in every team.
People seriously, just because you have heard of pip at Amazon. Don't suggest Oracle to other folks unless you work at OCI. Since last 6-7 months. Oci became one of worst and shitty place to work for. They literally don't know anything about the JD when they hire. Currently the only requirement which managers have is: human being. So don't get surprise if you get a very high tc job at oci. Not even kidding growth is soo soo bad, your tc will be same literally specially the base for another couple of years and learning will be zero. All people here I feel are frustrated because of the kind of work they do whole day, which is operational. WLB is also not as good now a days.
Good to know! I am not inclined with either OCI or AWS
Oracle has always been fucking awful. A friend of mine in oracle sales for twelve years made literally millions of dollars but developed severe substance abuse issues directly because of the straight out evil and unethical shit he dealt with constantly. I’ve known a dozen Oracle people and all of them without exception have harrowing stories about the most political and fucked up environment. I came to cisco via an acquisition so we are somewhat isolated from the insane politics but it leaks through. To me it’s shocking that people work here, but it’s downright sedate compared to Oracle or AWS.
Latch and not just because of the TC. Three of those options are known toxic environments even relative to Cisco.
Which three? I presume AWS and OCI are two of them?
RrdHat is the third. It’s become a sweatshop consulting org.
