I received an offer from Expedia for SDE 2.TC offered is ~$142k including base + relocation + bonus. Location: Chicago Amazon TC would be ~$150k including the same things as above. The role is SDE 1. Team: Last Mile Location: Seattle What would be the better choice here? YOE : 3-4 #engineering #software #swe #amazon #egencia #expedia
I've heard Engencia will no longer be a part of Expedia (most probably Expedia will sell out Egencia). Not sure if it's public, but I've heard this from my past colleagues in Expedia (based on rumours). Not sure how much of this is true.
142 for Chicago seems low. But 150 for Amazon toxicity seems low too. But considering that you have 3-4 years of experience and joining as sde1 I think you can manage it..so would recommend Amazon. Also make a poll
Agreed. SDE1 has low performance bar so OP could easily be successful, which makes the amazon PIP fears go away.
I see posts on LinkedIn, “I am happy to announce that I have accepted offer from Amazon……” and I literally wanna comment, there’s nothing to be happy about this. Go to expedia bro. Amazon is shit.
Depends, you get into a good team and it's the easiest cash you've ever made
Do not join Egencia. Why do you want to choose uncertainties when you clearly know about the pending sale with Amex?
Same pay and SDE1 will be less stress. I'd take amazon
How long it took for Expedia to come up with an offer letter?

Ask amazon for sde 2 based on your YOE. And look up levels.fyi for the salary ranges. You can filter based on YOE for sde 2
Amazon offer him SDE1 because they think he is on level 1 instead of level2 based on interview. How do you ask for SDE2? You think you can ask whatever you want?
