Amazon L4 - TC 200k - remote - first faang offer, so might be good for my resume - Stock split coming up I have some worries about toxic work culture and bad wlb (though my manager seems eager to have me). Also, that remote might isolate me from the team and make me a target for pip. If remote gets rescinded, I don't want to relocate. Unicorn (3B valuation) - TC 150k + equity (stock options to buy 16k shares valued at $50 with strike of $10) - hybrid - Benefits seems great - free food, tech allowance, pto, company vacations - On track for IPO in the next year I'm worried that my stock options aren't worth anything because of all the tax and cost of exercising my stock options. Current TC - 130k YOE - 2
“bad wlb (though my manager seems eager to have me)” Though means something contradictory, it should be “because” manager is eager because he doesn’t have enough people for the work he has which leads to more ops = bad wlb
Ok forget about amazon stock split coz most likely you will get 6-10 stocks in the next 2 years if you join Amazon. See if the unicorn can front load the stocks etc. Also give us the name of the unicorn otherwise who tf can tell if it’s safe to join or not just by “3B and on track to IPO”

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
Get a brand name in your resume. Startups will be a dime a dozen. Even if you just suck it up and do 1 year at Amazon it will open doors to better tech companies. A startup will not.
Amazon can be toxic and you will have to work hard but if you can just get for 1 year you’ll be able to jump to another FANNG for more TC and likely better WLB. The Amazon manager wants you because they are hiring like crazy and people get scared of toxic culture and avoid.
Life’s too short to be unhappy for a year… But money can make up for that too
