I have been at work for 2 months at Microstrategy, just got an offer from Amazon for a SDE role in the Seller Experience Team. I know nothing about the work I will get to do at Amazon. But I have a loan to pay off and Amazon joining bonus is significant. Current work at Microstrategy is good and the team and wlb is also great. What factors should I consider to make the decision?
Why did you interview if you just started 2 months ago at your new job?
I interviewed a year ago and at that time the positions were full so they froze the hiring and now I got the email that based on the last year's interview I got to job...
In that case, you're a good candidate and you can crack into FAANG. If I were you, I'd ask Amazon to push the offer by an year - join later. If not I'd stay and reach out to them next year and get a significant higher pay (based on current experience).
Amazon won’t be giving a joining bonus . They split it over the first 2 years
That's is correct...but the amount is significant even after the split around 25k a year
Of which 40% goes to taxes. But it’s still worth it I guess since they have a lot of immigration choices
What I'd your current TC? Are you swe?
Currently I am an SWE in my company
Can you postpone your joining with Amazon to 3-6 months ? So your resume says you worked at the current employer for 8-9 months ?
Given that your team and WLB is great in your current company, I would recommend that you consider the Amazon offer with a pinch of salt. What if you feel miserable at Amazon? WLB at Amazon can suck if you’re not a certain kind of personality. So you are taking a gamble if you choose to accept the Amazon offer.
Just take the offer and leave MicroStrategy off your resume
