Offer Eval: Google L3, Amazon SDE II, Stripe L2
Currently have these offers in hand and I'm trying to arrive at a final decision.
Google L3
Base: $140,000, Total: $220,000
Amazon SDE II
Base: $175,000, Total: $315,000
Stripe L2
Base: $170,000, Total: $310,000
I'm currently leaning towards Stripe or Amazon. I liked the managers I spoke with at both. But when I read posts like these:
- https://www.teamblind.com/post/Avoid-Stripe-oMHuWXW6
- https://www.teamblind.com/post/Is-Amazon-that-bad-00nnRwe3
I can't help but have second thoughts. Now, I'm not looking to join a company to rest and vest. I'm happy to put in more hours if I enjoy what I'm working on and there are interesting problems to work on. But if regular 50 - 60 hour work weeks are the norm, I would not enjoy that.
Current TC: $140k
YOE: 2

Avoid Stripe

As for a potential uplevel, I'm not terribly keen on doing another interview at this point to be honest. Even if I was successful I suspect they wouldn't offer more than what Stripe and Amazon are offering.
