Getting an offer from AWS Cloudfront Ireland as SDE - with TC: 100k base + 75k sign on bonus (40k first year, 35k second year) + 1000 unit stocks for 4 years(5%, 15%, 40%, 40%). ~= 150k first year My current compensation at Workday around 78k base + 10% bonus + 700 unit stocks for 4 years (25% each year) AWS offers seems to be a lot higher now compare to Workday, but Workday's stock peak price is double to Amazon now (after stock splitting), and WLB in Workday seems better. Another thing is I could get promotion to Senior SDE at May next year, but I think the raise won't be more than 10% in general as Workday is more stock heavy company. The most important thing is I enjoy to work in Workday a lot especially my team with only 3 peoples, but I can't afford to any house in Dublin with salary in Workday even as a Senior SDE. levels shows Senior SDE salary is around 100k Glassdoor shows Senior SDE salary is around 83k to 101k https://www.glassdoor.ie/Salary/Workday-Senior-Software-Engineer-Salaries-E197851_D_KO8,32.htm Personally feels like AWS salary is still stronger than Workday in 2-3 years time until AWS sign on bonus is fully vested, then I should be able to join back to Workday or other companies with higher level and salary with title from AWS. Is anything I am missing? btw: I talked to their manager and VP as I worried a lot about the WLB - and they told me that the on-call is once a year, and I will be on a non-critical and non-customer directly facing team in Cloudfront. Note: I do enjoy to work with smart people - and I can see people in both companies are smart enough for me. #workday #aws #amazon #salary #offer #cloudfront #wlb
CloudFront is one of the worst org with hell lot of Ops work.
what kind of ops work need to do?
I've talked to the manager anyway - and allow me to change to different org in a month if the team doesn't fits well. I think it is great experience to try out different company
Don’t trust HM specially at AWS. They will pip you if you plan to change the team. This has happened at CF too. Be careful. The org is not great.
What is your current level at Workday?
P3
Any idea what P4 max level is?
on-call is once a year really ? Not sure if you have already joined or not, but at Amazon be ready to lose your WLB to gain the TC. Ping me to know anything more
Did you finally join AWS? I'm getting the opposite offer in workday. Willing to trade cultural information. :P
I ain't doing math. Tell us the TC is dollars.
it is same currency now - it doesn't matter
