This is amazon’s initial offer while linkedin is after one round of negotiation.

Linked recruiter said they give good refreshers every year but did not give me an estimated number. I am fine with 356K year 1 TC but year 2 is too low, can blind community help me understand how refreshers work at LinkedIn? How can i get the gap to decrease on my year 2 comp, is there any way to negotiate further with Linkedin? As far as Amazon is concerned, i believe they will go upto 400, just a hunch.

Amazon’s recruiter said, an additional 10% base if i take SF Bay Area location.

Current TC : 280K
Yoe : 4+

    Does LinkedIn offer ESPP? Amazon doesn't
    Does LinkedIn offer Mega backdoor Roth? Does Amazon?

    What's the $/hour of both of them?
    What's the perks value of LinkedIn? Amazon gives $100 conditions apply.

    If you leave before 3 years, Amazon will take back all their 401 match. Does LinkedIn do the same?

    LinkedIn has monthly or biweekly 1 day off. Amazon doesn't.

    LinkedIn allows WFH. Amazon in your case location specific, will they let u WFH? Does it matter to u?

    LinkedIn has free food, Amazon doesn't.
    LinkedIn has unlimited PTO, Amazon doesn't.
    Compare tge benefits on levels.

    Compare the value of each offer rather than TC.

      Yeah, i am kind of aware of those benefits at linkedin and have valued them at about 25K for a year, includes espp, 401k match, fitness reimbursements. But still if Amazon is paying ~60K more than Linkedin, it makes me think, which one us better.

      If the diff is 40K, i would choose LinkedIn anyday. But i am pretty certain, amazon is ready to beat any offer at this point.

    • Amazon draws twice or thrice the work from single engineer. Only go to Amazon if you get double the salary. Career growth at Amazon is a joke. If you want to coast and do minimal work take it but if you are ambitious and want to get promoted not worth it to do it at Amazon. Also, out of 60k you will pay around 35% taxes? Is it worth it for rest of the money?

    Go to LinkedIn if you want peace in your life, collaborative work culture, empathetic leadership, and you don't want to spend too much time writing docs instead of code.

  • You will make slightly more money at Amazon, but the benefits, stability and WLB are much better here.
