Have an offer for ~450k from Amazon. Debating if its worth the jump since its a big increase in TC but i’m afraid from the horror stories i’ve read. My WLB is around ~45 hours but I feel like I won’t be able to hit senior for a couple more years which would bring my tc to a little over 400k. I also joined CB right after IPO and don’t want to be seen as a job hoper. Is it worth? #swe #engineering #software TC: 260k, 2.5 YOE Edit offer breakdown: 185k base, ~260 avg of stock/bonus Edit 2: this post is blowing up and there are a ton of comments and I can’t go through them all. Yes I did calculate the offer correctly (~185k, ~220k y1 sign on, ~600k/4). Haven’t accepted yet as I am still finishing up interviews, but will likely hop). Used counter offers to negotiate up along with having some fairly niche skills. Edit 3: this offer is for nyc edit 4: again no I did not calculate it wrong. The stock is ~600k/4 (5/15/40/40). 5% vests y1 (~30k). ~220k sign on is just for year one. 185k + 220k + 30k = ~435k. I have another sign on y2 which is lower since i vest more stock.
Is it SEA or HCOL market? You will be making more than 90% L6 with only 2.5 yoe. Madame Beth deserves to be fired!
HCOL - L5 185k base, 260k/yr avg with stock/bonus
Take it and cruise until the cliff. Amazon is also good for learning if you are keen on growing.
Go to Amazon Take the raise Leave for WLB company
Break down of offer?
450k for 2.5 YOE is insanely good.
I have masters and a lot of internships/part time swe positions which prob made my resume look more impressive
You’ll regret leaving Coinbase, bro don’t
Are you shitting me? I am an L5 SDE and that offer is nearly 3x my TC.
You’re making $150k?
Naa, not really. 2.5x is more accurate.
That’s like paying 2 internally promoted L5s lol
WLB is equally poor, take money and later go to a comfy place
How's wlb at cb?
@Amazon depends on the team. Generally IMO WLB is pretty good if you don’t care about getting promoted. If you want to get promoted your WLB is gonna take a hit.
How long you been at Coinbase?
joined right after ipo getting close to a year soon
Aren’t you going to vest a year worth of shares at the anniversary? (Don’t know how CB compensation works)
Go to Amazon for 4 years
