Shopify L4: 85k base, 45k rsu over 3 years Amazon SDE1: 100 base, 86k rsu over 4 years + 20k bonus in first 2 years Currently an intern shopify and really enjoy the company, but don't have much experience at other companies which is why I'm leaning towards amazon. Thoughts? My goal is to eventually work in the states, but I'm not sure how difficult that would be at Amazon
I can't speak for shopify but I'm an SDE 1 at Amazon in Canada rn and it's been good. The team I'm on has a lot of things on it's roadmap, plenty of opportunity to create designs and build cool stuff. Not every team is like this though, so YMMV. I don't think it's too hard to get a job in the states either way, I think shopify is becoming more well known now. So both are good options, my 2 cents though is that if you like where you work now you should choose that for FT
That makes sense. I'm just concerned that my experience may be too skewed towards shopify if I stay
What do you mean, like you're only gonna know how to build stuff using shopify tools and only know how to use their tech stack?
Variance in team quality will be bigger at Amazon just because it's so much bigger in size - it's easy to land on a crappy team because it's easy for them to hide. For the same reason expect less human touch in that environment. You'll definitely feel more like a cog. Go to another high quality medium-sized company similar to SHOP, or even a different big tech if you can. Amzn is not great for new grads. Go there only if you're already mature enough to distinguish the good, bad and ugly at Amazon (there's too much in the latter two categories), and only take away the good bits from your Amazon experience.
I’d take shop over Amazon because of the great culture and WLB. Languages can be learnt pretty easily. You’ll have more time at Shopify to be curious and learn than have a target at your back. The comp difference isn’t too big to warrant the headaches of pip, company politics and traveling to office to work.
