Both pay similar for the same YOE and Level. Amazon in fact pays more now and first 2 years in cash. Both have bad WLB. Asking about Sr/Staff SDE specifically. #amazon #facebook #meta #google #apple #tech #prestige
Lol Amazon will never be better than any FANG
Damn 😭
How about 🍎?
They might match the initial number . But amazon does not have year bonus and fixed stock refresher . Amazon's refresher calculated based on your targeted compensation. So if amazon stock is up you will not get any refresher.
Lol. A company which treats their employees as trash deserves any talent? Meta is not great, but compared to Amazon? You make Zuckerberg sad
Compare the two on benefits.fyi
For first two years Amazon wins. For long tenures it doesn’t because refreshers
Amazon is usually better the first two years. And those are really the only years that matter since the majority of people leave Amazon before then.
If you’re a top performer, I don’t think there’s a public tech company that beats FB’s upward mobility and additional rewards via refreshers and discretionary equity. Plus FB perks are top notch and Amazon still has mandatory URA. If Amazon gets rid of URA we can maybe resurface this comparison.
I got into both very recently and the comp is definitely not comparable. Also WLB and culture definitely better at FB
Any more deets ?
Same level offered. Amazon was 450 and FB was 661. Amazon refused to counter after I told them what FB gave me. Wouldn’t uplevel to meet comp either. So it was easy.
I’m not sure where folks are getting the Amazon offers, I recently got offered 200k for L5 @ AWS (fully remote though)
So if you have a spreadsheet you’ll notice that Amazon pays a lot in the first two years. But Amtrak three onwards Meta catches up with refreshes and cash bonus plus some perks missing at Amazon. Over a long time period Meta will want you more but if you can’t make up your mind and want to be there for just two years, no one can beat Amazon.
I meant But year three onwards
