This needs to be a poll.
No need to poll. Go sf
Could you explain please? Amazon is a better brand name and reputation?
lol.. Amazon is modern TCS
Where do you prefer to live? That would be how I’d choose
I bough a house at Redmond, probably will stay at Redmond.
Salesforce for sure then. Are you insane?
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.
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?
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.
What would you be doing at both companies?
Yoe? Amzn offer seems low.
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
Salesforce
Are you happy and will not leave?
WLB is pretty good. Depends on what you seek.
