    Is Facebook remote ? If yes, I’d go with Facebook. Having FB on your resume will open doors at later stage. Only downside is the weather in Toronto!
    Congratulations on the offer!
    Are you a Canadian ?

      OP
      I'm fine weather wise, coz I've lived in California and also Chicago before. Quiet contrasting but I was fine.

      OP, can you share interview experience as well (without revealing too much info obviously due to NDA) ?

  • Go for Fb, amazon increments is peanuts and we all know if stock price rise, amazon doesn't give increments. Fb on the other hand is known for giving generous refreshers - could even be about $50k annually.

    By the way, congrats on the offers. I can understand the frustration due to immigration system. The only thing I would worry about is the cold in Canada.

    From where in the US are you relocating from? I would caution you to realize the COL and high taxes in both Vancouver and Toronto. You might be in for some sticker shock. Go on realtor.ca and see for yourself.
