I got an offer for an L4 engineering at Snap and I'm debating if I should leave Amazon for it. Pros for staying at Amazon: - I'm familiar with Amazon's internal tools, processes, systems and codebase - I like working with my current team and my org is pretty great. Cons for staying at Amazon: - I'm becoming less and less enthusiastic about the things that I work on - Benefits aren't that good Pros for joining Snap: - Relocation - TC increase (30%) - Cooler app / project - More benefits Cons for joining Snap: - I feel like Snap is not as prestigious as Amazon (You convince me otherwise though) - New domain, new codebase, probably need to learn new languages - Not sure about Snap's future, shaky stock price What should I do? tc: 250k yoe: 3.5
Use snap offer and join elsewhere or stick to Amazon
Let me check my math... Amazon != Snap .... Yep, the math checks out. You should move to Snap.
I concur. OP show some bias for action or you'll get PIPed
Snap is definitely more prestigious than Amazon. Amazon has the lowest hiring bar in the industry
Yes! “Prestige” is Bs. 30% hike is a good thing
What location is the Snap offer for?
bay area
Where are you now? 30% bump may not be good enough
Prestige is everything. Stay at Amazon!!! You will be going from 16 prestige to 47!! Do not do it!!! Your career will be on shambles https://prestigehunt.com
16 -> 47 is really bad.
Snap is shitty engineering wise. Stay away.
Roblox challenges Snap to a shitty engineering off.
+1 for shitty engineering at snap. I wouldn't go.
Do it.
Prestige my a**

Do you see SNAP growing in the future? Maybe you know something I don’t.
should have listed that as a con
