Hi, current TC is 265 with 4 YOE from a mid-tier non tech company doing distributed systems and engineering.

I have an offer from:
Uber with around 280 TC at L4
Amazon with 270 TC at L5 (SDE 2) which is equivalent to Uber L4

Uber is willing to negotiate more but asked me for a number.

I have passed Google HC for L4 but have yet to get a team match. I passed HC about 4 weeks ago. My recruiter said I could expect at least 3 more months.

I like the work at Amazon > Uber, but the Culture/Prestige/TC of Uber > Amazon. I think I've narrowed it down that Uber > Amazon especially if they increase their offer a bit.

I don't love my current work (not a lot of growth) and if Google offered me a job but in 12 months, I would take Uber and re-apply. If it was 2 months, I would wait for Google Team Matching.

Can't move to LCOL for Google team matching for personal reasons, so HCOL it is.
