Amazon offered TC 80L+

I feel this is too much for SDE 2 band 🤣
What's the catch here? Am I missing something?
I am still interviewing in other companies like Google, but is it worth it. Can any org in India beat this TC?

    I was at Amazon India earlier. Honestly all the criticism is overrated. Don't bother too much about it. It's a solid offer, only catch is becoming SDE 3 is really really hard (I think it's hardest among all big techs) so you might not see a very high pay increase.

    Google India isn't a Dreamland either. We've hired a lot of incompetent idiots as managers who can't do basic people management. India teams don't have clear ownership and lot of times the work we India teams get is very average, with good work eventually finding it's way to MTV using re-org as an excuse.

    For all these companies workers in India are cheap labor, but Google makes no effort to even hide that.

    You're being blinded by the prestige factor. Get real, you aren't a college kid anymore. Talk to Amazon folks in real life, understand what their likes and dislike are about the company.

    Regarding PIP unless you're a totally clueless noob politically(you like have long arguments of trivial things) or a bad software engineer who can't do moderate amount of design + coding (having a can do attitude helps) you should be fine.

    Honestly OP, if you can clear A interview, you can clear G as well. At least I didn't see a very different bar in both. In fact for me, system design was tougher at A and required more depth

      A friend of mine recently got google l5 offer and his experience was similar to what @vmware is suggesting. All his interviews were with us/singapore interviewers and they were pretty easy.
