Vmware - 295k tc -staff engineer Amazon 285k tc - sde2 Palo alto networks - 300k - principal Yoe- 12 Can you please suggest which one would be better?
12 yoe and sde2, thats a bullshit offer given the yoe and level of sde2’s at amzn
No brainier: not Amazon.
Palo Alto Networks. Or VMware. Amazon tries to be legit by down-leveling capable people, but it’s just a sign of the company’s weird hubris and insecurity. You’re too experienced to be an L5 engineer at Amazon, you’ll be really frustrated with that.
Wait Amazon L5 makes 285k ?
Well the offer says stock will appreciate 30% every year and will keep appreciating forever :)

That's is Max for Palo Alto... Seattle maxes around 230-250k

What level is this in Amazon?
Why sde2 with 12yoe ?
The recruiter set me at sde 2 loop, and they don't want level up
We take pride in downgrading people!
