Could you explain why sf?

Amazon Wow!! Jul 14, 2019

No need to poll. Go sf

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

Could you explain please? Amazon is a better brand name and reputation?

Salesforce curious03 Oct 9, 2019

lol.. Amazon is modern TCS

Amazon amazons Jul 14, 2019

Where do you prefer to live? That would be how I’d choose

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

I bough a house at Redmond, probably will stay at Redmond.

Amazon cgucxtxyv Jul 14, 2019

Salesforce for sure then. Are you insane?

Amazon nSNv43 Jul 14, 2019

There is some really good work happening at Amazon but wlb and growth really depend on which team you are in, if wrong life is super fucked. Also, compensation is the bigger issue. Amazon's comp is more like a contract that you sign at the start where the bumps you get every year are not really great or meaningful which means even if you bust your ass for the whole year you'll still end up getting very minimal increment in base and some stocks. I think Salesforce has good raises every year and bonuses(not sure). They have some solid products too and are here to stay, so overall would say join Salesforce.

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

Thanks a lot for the reply. Amazon I thought is a better brand name and the engineers from Amazon seems more competitive in the Market?

Amazon nSNv43 Jul 14, 2019

Excellent engineers at Amazon for sure and I am more than certain Salesforce has a kickass engineering team too. I think for where you are in your career now, you shouldn't worry much about brand value because you'll have good engineering problems to solve at both places with competitive people around you. Focus on what team you are joining and what work you are going to do.

Amazon bingming Jul 14, 2019

What would you be doing at both companies?

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

Amazon AWS IOT-the team is doing the Auth related work, SF Marketing Cloud-seems a data platform

Amazon VEbY46 Jul 14, 2019

Just based on this I'd say Amazon because IOT is doing some really good work currently and it's something that'll help you grow.

Yoe? Amzn offer seems low.

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

3.5, started at 59 @ MS

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

Yes, top performer for past 3 years with 18% bonus every year

Negotiate with Amazon. I feel Amazon has a lot of interesting work under AWS and you may be able to move internally to get broader experience. See if you can push them for 300k. With current numbers Salesforce offer looks better

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

I tried negotiate, from 220 to 240, I think they can probably do 250 - 260 in Seattle area?

Microsoft vector27 Jul 14, 2019

Use the Salesforce offer leverage to ask for 300k. Is this for L5 or L6?

Salesforce DREAMkid Jul 14, 2019

Microsoft vovito OP Jul 14, 2019

Are you happy and will not leave?

Salesforce DREAMkid Jul 15, 2019

WLB is pretty good. Depends on what you seek.
