Got an offer at Amazon and was wondering what people thought about WLB vs hustling for a 22 year old.

HubSpot's WLB is great, there's practically no PIP, but I don't feel challenged.
Amazon's WLB is garbage (from the looks of it), but I will probably work my ass off.

Am I going to regret leaving HubSpot for Amazon?

Current TC - 140k (the ceiling is much lower and the titles are inflated)
Amazon TC - 160k

    $20k isn’t worth it. Go get a part time second job and you’ll make way more money.

    If you join Amazon, you’d spend the extra 20k on therapy

    Hustle. I assume this is your first job out of college. Amazon name on your resume will have better exit opportunities afterwards than HubSpot

    For your first job, the future value of your current job should be a more important consideration than anything else

    At 22, optimize for learning. Whichever job will teach you the best skills will pay you back in a few years time no matter current compensation.
