Currently I am senior engineer at visa which is equivalent to Amazon SDE2, now I got an offer from AWS Europe for SDE2 and my manager is talking about my promotion to Staff engineer ( I didn’t mention I had another offer yet) What should I do ? Join Amazon: I believe get good technical learning, hands on implementation and large scale exposure. Take promotion in visa: get exposure of lead work, behaviour exp,might get a chance to build team too. How it can impact my career path? if I took SDE2 it will atleast took me 2yr to be promoted to SDE3 in aws, and have no WLB. Same Similar TC saving wise: Amazon Dublin : 150euro Visa India: ~50 lakh Visa India is approximate and verbal offer as it’s promotion
No TC, No vote

SDE 2 to 3 will take more than 2 years easily in Amazon. Some people never move to 3 from 2 fyi
Does it makes sense to accept visa Staff for now and then after a yr try sde3 in faang ?
What's your YOE? amz offer doesn't look bad
YoE: 6, will that matter much ?
promo to staff enginer in visa, wait 6 months, reapply for sde3 to Amazon
I am actually considering that too, Just thinking how hard it will become to leave VISA after some time.
sde2 to sde3 is super hard
No vote without TC.
