Oracle Public cloud vs Amazon ?
I am at Amazon. Got offer from oracle public cloud. When I told Amazon they matched it. What should I do. I have i-140 approved from Amazon. Oracle is willing to do that process. Any suggestion what should I do ?
Make Oracle give you better offer, not worth moving for a match to a less innovative company
First of all thanks for advise to everyone. If oracle offering more money then how much more does it worth to go to oracle and have my PERM and I140 process start all over again. If I stay at Amazon I have i140 approved.
Is your situation going to be be better if you reapplied with Oracle, for example if you are on EB3 now, will you qualify for EB2 when applying with Oracle due to counting Amazon's years of experience
Oracle Public Cloud has some exciting stuff going on. Unless you are doing crappy work at AWS (I'm assuming you are at AWS) - I agree with SGHQ78, stay at Amazon. Not worth moving for the same amount of Moolah

if you are going to do cloud either do the incumbent (Amazon, MSFT) or the up and comer. Oracle is only know for lawsuits.

Thanks.
I'd also consider room for personal n professional growth as one consideration for changing paths. For example, becoming staff, architect, manager, etc vs staying at current level.
How many years do you think it would take for your priority date to be current? If you think it's going to take more than 3-4 years to be current, I would say negotiate higher salary with Oracle and move. Green card process hinders career growth specially if you are born in India or China.
Yes, it is going to take at-least 4 to 5 years to get my priority date current. I am going to try that. Let see what happens. Also how much money does it worth to take chance and start for PERM and i140 all over again.
Ihavedream - Everyone's going to have a different answer to that. Are you happy at your current job? All else being equal (job satisfaction, mainly), I would need (atleast) 25-30% bump in total comp to move to Oracle (from AWS). I'm at the higher end of my band and about 3-4 years away from my GC. The increase is to account for the hassle of getting over inertia, slightly weaker brand and the Immigration paperwork. From what I know, Oracle usually beats those numbers.
My personal ranking for a career move to any company: - immigration (if needed). - challenge to solve or mainstream area? - career growth opportunities. - comp.
I worked at Oracle in the past. Oracle's immigration attorneys (BAL Global) are not very prompt in their paperwork. They took 13 months to file my GC from the moment I initiated my PERM request. Whereas Amazon's attorneys (Fragomen) filed the PERM in less than 3-4 months. The yearly comp review/bonus structure is very haphazard. If you are a star performer, you can get a promotion soon. Promotions do not necessarily come with pay hikes. I am not discouraging you from join Oracle, but make sure you have your expectations set.
Please help.
