Hi,

I have 1 year 3 months of experience out of college in Amazon and just got approved by the hiring committee in Google Fremont (Seattle).

Haven’t received a formal offer yet and am talking to my recruiter soon. However, from my research it seems like Google doesn’t really hire SDE 1s as T4.

I’m wondering if it is worth switching to Google at this point or if I should first wait for my SDE 2 promo at Amazon (manager says I should be good for Q1 2019).

I’m kinda tired of the shitty work life balance at Amazon and would def prefer Google’s ( in addition to perks, etc)

Anyone have any advice from similar experiences? Also what should I expect in terms of an offer?
