Asking for a friend who is a L5 TPM at Amazon for couple years but still about a year away from L6 promotion. Overall 15 YOE. He recently got offer to join Oracle as Principal TPM. Good bump in TC. Would joining Oracle makes more sense given his eventual goal is to join MSFT or google as Principal after 2-3 years?
I would think yes. Get the bump now learn a few things and move on
Msft principal parity but forget principal at G. You need to be a partner at msft or vp at Oracle for that
Oracle does not give raises outside of OCI engineering
Or even in OCI
Did he join?
Your TC and your friend (may be it’s you) TC or GTF you both!
