Thinking about whether to seriously pursue a move from G to A. For this exercise, assume boss and team are more or less the same. Assume work is the same type of work/projects as well. TC: 230k (non tech L4 PgM)

It’s not about companies you work for, be selfish and pursue what makes you feel good. I have seen so many people going to A from G for better opportunities.
I did in order to move from MTV to AUS, no regrets.
Google has Austin location
Yes, it has been growing very well too. But back at the time it was either GMS Core (Android middleware with nightmarish release process) or Corp. Eng. (maintaining an internal instance of Salesforce).
If all the same, then stay at Google. Almost all my Amazon friends are miserable vs Google friends.
May be folks who are bored from resting and vesting. Look at what Google has achieved in last 5 yrs vs amazon
So true
100k more? Maybe yes
Would have to be a pay bump enough to improve quality of life, so at least 50%. In order to get than you would need a better title at a higher visibility role. If you can get all that then go for it.
Ofcourse. For more money. It's just a job.
Unless Bezos personally agrees to give you a BJ every week: PLEASE DONT DO IT!!! (I am a Sr. PM with Amazon's fucking F3 and life is miserable)

So hard being a women in tech industry
I have g friends interviewing with amazon More locations when they want to move , more remote opportunities and some google teams have terrible wlb especially around product launches...
It makes sense if one is going to a higher level. Eg G L4 to L5 or L6. Or G L5 to Amazon L7. Otherwise, why??
Amazon has more products that are leading their segment so potential to work on interesting problems is higher. My guess is that an average Googler works on mundane stuff whereas an average Amazonian might work on more interesting stuff. That is my guess, not a Googler. 🤣
