Current TC: 220K YOE: 5 Two offers: Google L4 SWE TC 260K Youtube team in Venice Amazon SDE2 TC 240K Ring Team permanent Remote (I will still live around LA) Google Pros Learn new technology Lots of more senior devs on team to learn from Google office perks when wfh ends Youtube is huge impact/brand recognition Amazon Pros Permanent Remote (better for traveling and can live in more affordable neighborhoods) Faster promotion track Tech Im familiar with I would be one of the more senior devs so I can get management experience faster AMZN stock means I most likely make more with this offer if I stay 2.5 years
Why would Amazon stock make Amazon TC higher? Can't you just use Google TC to buy Amazon stock?
If you are long AMZN join G and buy AMZN call options
Yoe?
Updated the post. 5 YOE with 2 being at AAPL
As an ex Amazonian it’s not close - go to Google
I would say try Amazon and come here six months later with your pip story. I have seen this happening in the past. I would love if you go to Amazon and got piped out in 6 months 😂😂
There’s no way my Amazon team will be worse than my current team. A lot of my friends enjoy Apple so it seems I just rolled a bad manager but I can’t take it anymore. Been planning this leave since last year
Trust me you don’t know Amazon. I am an ex-Amazon here! Have seen people crying on their desk at Amazon. Go there and see for yourself, I really find it amusing when people say they don’t care about others experiences refusing their advice and they are smarter than other people and then shit in their pants afterwards 😂😂
Congrats! Are BA salaries higher than LA?
Bay is usually higher but I didn’t negotiate my Apple offer and got a weak refresher. I negotiated these offers higher so it just turned out this way.
Interesting, thanks. Could you possibly approximate what the G's Venice offer would be had it been G MTV/San Bruno?
Google pay US salary to international office?
I thought it was Venice, LA...
Damn. Haha. They do have a fair size office in Italy though LoL
Take the permanent remote role. Duh
This is a no brainer. YouTube duh!
Amazon can suck my ass
Got a horror story to share?
Didn’t realize we launched a service that does that too, wow.
