Coinbase(IC4) TC(including WFM/wellness funds): 73.5lac/year + 4.2lac(one time)

AWS AI(L5) TC: 78lac/year(including signon bonus + stocks)

I wanted to know which one to join, given coinbase has complete remote work. I am more interested from these POV:
Growth, Opportunity, No Toxic WLB, Promotions

I am a little inclined towards Coinbase, but I would definitely need inputs from this community. Given a difference of 4lac between AWS and Coinbase.

  • Both companies have toxic managers and shit WLB, with Coinbase definitely worse than Amazon.

    Promo at Coinbase will be pretty slow similar to Amazon. Only join here if you want to dive into crypto domain otherwise not worth it.

      OP
      Coinbase hires SSE at 5YOE, so thinking to try Coinbase after a year again. As you told promos are slow in Coinbase as well.

    • Yeah hiring bar is low, but promos are not fast at all.

      If SSE is your target joining at IC5 is better. Internal promotion can easily take 2-3 years.

    How's the TC growth at Coinbase?

    At Amazon, since you are already at top of the band for L5, the most significant raise you'll get would be via promo to L6 (1.13Cr).

    From what I have read on blind, AWS has lot of opportunities for promo (compared to lot of teams in CDO). And there is almost always some greenfield work going on, which provides good opp for L6 promo (I have seen profiles of quite a few tenured L5s getting to L6 this way)

      Ah, I though only the offers were fixed. L6 band is 1.13 to 1.7Cr
      So, L6 seems to have much better scope to earn than IC5.

      But L6 has quite a high bar at Amazon, I have heard you'll have to work closely with other L6s and L7s for promo.

      But anyways, let's see what other people think, my opinions are based on just what I read on our internal channel

  • Is it a MLE role at Amazon AWS AI or the usual SWE role?

    What's your current TC? Curious to know how you managed to fetch these offers at 4 YOE. Solid LC prep or upskilling in niche tech stack?
