Just got an offer from Spotify 265k. My comp at Amazon is 250k. I feel like Amazon comp could outpace Spotify given stock prospects and relatively generous raises as of late. Only thing is WLB which I imagine is better at Spotify. Thoughts?

Amazon is better for career and growth. Spotify is better for WLB. Depends what you value
Point about Amazon being better for career growth is not necessarily true. You can easily get stuck in dead-end projects and lose your competitiveness by staying at Amazon for too long.
Had a Spotify offer for 240K last year as an L5. Used it to negotiate a match at Amazon, and after performance review my comp went to 300K this year and 350K next year + I'm lined up for Q4 promo to L6 this year. If I had switched to Spotify there's no way compensation would have kept up.
Taking a change for low salary change will hamper you more. I took low salary change for wlb at Microsoft after a year got low raise also so at the end felt like should have not taken that step. Interview more and get high TC.
Given a choice Spotify is best but not a worth of change for same TC
