Amazon or Startup?

Feb 2, 2019 18 Comments

Little hinging towards Amazon because offer is from a critical Alexa team. Will get to work on variety of projects. Decent amount of senior people to learn from. I am ok if a little extra hours need to be put in since other offer would definitely have lot of pressure to perform. Never worked in a public company before.

Startup - Cool people, interesting product (engineering platform for xxx), work aligning with current experience, they are really going out of the way to make this offer, hence a lot of pressure, overall 50 people engg team and total company ~150. No equity definitely seems discouraging, they don't have a plan in place yet for RSUs.

YOE: 5

AMZN Sunnyvale: Base - 174k, ~280 TC
Startup: All cash 270k, 20k sign-on, no Equity

Please chime in if there are any facets to either offer I am not able to visualize.
