YOE - 5 (1.5 in the US)
Master's + Bachelor's in CS
Amazon - 270k SDE2 Seattle
Microsoft - 255k L62 Redmond
Edit: Updating breakdown
Amazon: Base 155k, Bonus 105k + 85k, 100 RSUs (this was after negotiating my MS offer)
Microsoft: Base 150, Bonus 90k, Stocks 240k (stocks is what they mainly increased to match my ask)
Both companies they increased approx $40k after negotiations.
Based on several threads that I read here, I think MS has a higher effective TC (based on other benefits - 401k, Pro Club, ESPP, shuttle and cheaper food) but I'm not sure how your impact is assessed for yearly bonus.
My target was quarter of a mil and experimentation oriented heavy work.
Money is no more a factor because I got what I needed.
I just want to know where I can have a higher impact. Because both places have amazing engineers, but I want to standout.
Is it ok to go for MS? Can I switch to a different team easily there if I feel it's not running at the pace I need? (I've never worked at a large company. Current team size is 4. :p) I don't want to get complacent but I also want to spend time with my boyfriend, hangout with my friends afterwork for some random occasion and definitely on the weekends.(side eyes to on calls)
Want to see the real deal?
