Hello team .. looking for perspective on what would be a better choice to make. Please also share reasons in comments: #1 P5 at VMware for the marketplace team #2 L6 at Amazon Lab126 for a device team The total comp for both these roles is pretty much even. VMware has a higher cash component and Amazon has a higher stock component. Currently I’m a product manager at Akamai with TC $260k#product #productmanager #pm
Most tech stocks are falling like crazy . So negotiate with Amazon for higher base pay .
Thanks for your response. So, your recommendation is to still go with Amazon for the brand? Is there anything else to think through?
Your stock probably won't start vesting for a year. So think about what the stock might be worth in 1-3 years, not the crappy performance over the past few months. With amzn I'd bet that this is a great time to get stock. 50%+ upside in next 2 years. I can't say the same for VMW. But ymmv
Better WLB at VMW
Agreed. That’s the reason it’s a tough choice. The leadership team in the VMware team comes highly recommended.
Base is now king, stocks are nice but still a gamble. $275 + 20% is very good for a p5. There's lots of p5 making less than 200.
Thanks for the perspective
Yeah... P6 @ $230k base
Decided to go ahead with the Amazon offer. Thanks for the feedback
Good luck in your new role. Blind will be here waiting for an update in 6 months. 😉
Any notes on Devices team WLB?
what was your amazon tc and breakup?
