Why do some people choose Microsoft over Amazon even when Amazon pays more bucks

Title Of course money isn't everything, so what are the other things which weigh in favor of Microsoft? Also I have an offer from Microsoft , should I interview with Amazon? Of course this might depend from person to person but should I do it in your view?

Wlb , 401k , cafe food , no pip , bonus ,

No known pip, but there are layoffs in MS.

Microsoft Brazuka Oct 13, 2019

Layoffs are for non eng mostly. Quit uttering bs. Everybody know likelihood of PIP is an order of magnitude more likely than layoffs

WLB, annual cash bonuses, rewards not dependent on stock growth, great 401k match and other benefits

Money can’t bring everything in our life, that’s why.

Worked at both. Benefits are way better. Msft gives 10k to your 401k and allows you to contribute an additional 27k via mega backdoor Roth. Free healthcare. $2000 HSA money. ESPP. Super Subsidized pharmacy with lots of OTC drugs and health items. 10 sick days and 15PTO vs 3 sick days and 10PTO The work is the same. WLB is actually worse at a Microsoft for me. My on hire pay was more than Amazon. After 2 years it’s the same, after 4 it’s less. So unless they provide me with SSA I will leave (probably back to Amazon) after year 4

Where is this pharmacy you speak of?

Amazon bonjour! Oct 13, 2019

It is 15pto on 2nd year in Amzn. Are you in Azure? And before were in CDO at Amazon? If yes, then switch teams in MS. Or try Aws for “super wlb”.

I am not so sure Amazon pays that much more... and there is a reason Amazon attrition rate is so high.
