Currently a L6 at Amazon ( Marketing). Have a great manager and a very good standing in the team. The project i am on is also very exciting and it is a new launch. So I believe it is going to add a lot of value to my resume. Based on the current standing i am hoping to be a TT or HV3 this year. Already have a team. Have an offer from a mid sized company with a better title and approximately 40% more TC. But very conflicted about it. The TC at the new place (post IPO mid-sized tech - think Snowflake, Splunk, Mongo) is just a lot to say no to. I feel that L7 is at least a year or more away( if everything goes well). The earliest i can expect is Q1 23. But i love my current place at Amazon. My manager is the biggest reason for me thinking about it so much - he is just awesome! Also i first accepted their offer, reneged and then went back again and even then they have been very kind to me( all in last 3 weeks). But i am surprised they did not even make the slightest fuss about giving me the offer again. Still confused and not sure about this. Am I overthinking this and self sabotaging?

TC: 250K

    I guess I’d be really honest with myself and ask what exactly I’m trying to solve for. You like your team, the work, and the leadership - that’s huge!

    Is it pay? Are there just general pressures self imposed or otherwise that way you should be progressing linearly with more tc/responsibility?

    Sometimes I can get anxious by not “progressing” but remind myself that, in fact, I’m pretty happy with where I am right now. Gl friend!

    Take the new job. It’ll challenge you, help you grow, and increase your TC. Amazon will probably shuffle you around soon, or your manager will leave, and then what?

    Take the new job. Better title and more money (350K non-tech) is a no brainer. You can always go back to Amazon. Plus, teams change so much at Amazon, having a good manager is fleeting—so don’t count on having a good manager or team, that will change at Amazon. Move on. If you don’t like your new job you can always go back to Amazon in an L7 role and not miss a beat.

  • If you’re happy where you are and are doing meaningful work that will move you forward in the future then why move? Is the new role going to a better progression? Bigger scope, leadership, or just more money? That kind of bump in TC is great, but if you’re learning where you are and like your manager, I’d think about staying. With all the back and forth you definitely aren’t sure about the new place, listen to your gut.
