Singapore is a nice place along and add low tax, that makes it even better I think. So of everything else is same, I'd prefer Singapore

Hey thanks but it's just solely based on compensation right. I heard wlb is bad and there is a big communication gap between Chinese people and which might be an issue or something. Any idea on that?

Goldman Sachs googlynext Mar 7, 2021

Yeah with bytedances chinese dominant reputation, it might be wise to step away from that

Hey updated the post with same'

No point going to Grab for such a low bump in TC. Stick to Amazon or try sde2 elsewhere in India. No idea about bytedance

Ok cool thanks

Why do you have such low TC after having 2-3 yoe. Doesn't Amazon pays good? Like new grads get a TC better than that I guess

Amazon ruPw73 OP Mar 8, 2021

13-16 is base and I've not included stocks and stuff though, but yeah stocks have vesting period and my stocks aren't vested so yeah.

Are you a SDE at Grab? I am currently contemplating offers from Amazon and Grab and not sure which ones should I go for.

Amazon ruPw73 OP Mar 13, 2021

Nope, I'm SDE at amazon got offer from grab. As per my knowledge TC @ amazon >> TC @ grab , but amazon culture is toxic and not good imo
