I got an offer from amazon india for SDE1 position. I have two and half years of experience. Base - 16L JB- (3+2.5L) stocks = 10L(4years) I have other offers as well with one being slightly more than amazon (from oracle oci). Is there any drawback joining SDE1 with my experience? How long will it take me to get the SDE2 promotion? I also have heard that direct SDE2(L5) hires are paid way more than internally promoted SDE2. Is it true? last is the offer good or should i try to negotiate? Any advice or opinion is appreciated? #Amazon #India #offer #sde
I think I saw you mentioning that your team was Traffic quality advertising in Adtech org and trust me, I'll think twice before joining that team. I had a very rude SDE-2 interviewer and no one seems to give a sh!t when I complained about him to HR and also to hiring manager. The culture in the team felt really toxic. And the HR was backing him up saying he was an elite member in the team who took 100+ interviews, incredible! They tried lowballing me with a SDE-1 offer and I rejected it. I'd happily take OCI over that horrible cultured team for sure. If you're still interested in that team, I'd suggest you do proper research about the team talking to other folks in Amazon.
1. You can be promoted in 8-10 months if you're really good and stars align. 1.5 years would be a more realistic goal. 2. Yes external sde 2 hires are paid a little more at minimum and a lot more if negotiate. 3. Offer can be negotiated. Maximum base is 18 for SDE 1 hear. You can negotiate on base or JB. I doubt stocks go above 10 L for sde 1. But tbh take the other offer and reinterview for SDE 2. No point joining as SDE 1 at your experience.
Yeah, recently joined with 2.5 yoe, got 40+ TC
You are talking about Amazon india sde2? What is the compensation breakup? And which org are you joining?

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
