1. Interview with Amazon (L5, AWS, WA) and Google (L4, GCP, CA). 2. Receive similar verbal offers (300K). 3. Google freezes hiring. 4. Accept Amazon offer. 5. Work for 1 month. 6. Google re-extends offer. My team at Amazon is good. The work is mediocre. A bit concerned about PIPs and layoffs. The grass looks greener at Google. The benefits sound good. It looks a bit safer. I don't want to waste my team's time or burn bridges. I don't know what Google will think about my time at Amazon. I'm not sure I can rely on Google's offer being valid for 1 year. I also have to consider relocation and taxes (WA to CA). Would you do it? TC: 300K #amazon #google
Yes
Literally in the same exact boat. Am going to accept the Amazon offer, haven’t started yet so I have some time to try to delay until Google unpauses. Been told a week, maybe 4 weeks but also results are valid for a year. OP, did your Google recruiter mention the hiring freeze has been lifted? If so, I can follow up… I finished my loop last week. Got positive feedback and signals with the intention to move forward but still not past TM phase.
This is why that other Amazon guy refused to interview candidates that said he is interviewing for Google.
Absolutely how is this even a question lol
Stay at Amazon and jump to Google as an L5
Amazon would quit you in 1 month if it was advantageous for them.
No, they won't quit you in one month. Theyll quit you the same day.
Well, contrary to popular belief, I have seen people with absolutely no deliverables resting at Amazon. Even the Amazon PIP process takes months. I am not saying that there is no one at Amazon fired within weeks. All I am saying is that Amazon is too huge for generalization.
Leave. No regrets.
If Amazon puts you on PIP you kick yourself double hard for not taking Google offer.
No brainer, move to Google.

What do vegetarian Indians eat for protein?
Take Google
Seriously, Google offers a benefit called not being Amazon. That benefit can not be stated enough times. Or stay at Amazon. Eventually you’ll get PIP’d so some manager can meet their PIP quota.
