Hi Blinders,

It's been very tough to decide the offer among google L4 and Uber L5A or stay back at Amazon.
Please share your inputs to help me decide one.

Currently, I am at L5 at Amazon. Been into L5 from last ~2.5 years. Manager is promising L6 in one year. But I added 2 quarters of buffers due to politics and other reasons. Its will take around ~1.5 years to get L6.

Currently, I have offer from Google as L4 for Google Cloud and Uber as L5A. I am not able to decide whether to pick google, uber or stay at Amazon.

Google, L4
TC : numbers not shared

Pros:
Stability
Google looks good on resume. Every SWE wants to work at Google once.
Not sure if able to crack L5 next time.

Cons:
Reset my career to start again as SDE-2. Time spent in amazon for 2.5 years will not be counted.
Promo at Google will take easily 3-4 years.

Uber, L5A,
Pros :
Higher TC,

Cons:
Stability,

TC : ~95L

Current TC: 50L
YOE : 6

Please share your inputs.

Request: Folks voting for Google, please share your reason. It will definitely help me in taking a decision.
