I have an offer from #amazon and also #mastercard . I am new to blind, I need suggestion. little bit about me , i quite a lot of experience in data engineering.

Pay difference is quite steep between Amazon and mastercard. But, i'm honestly scared with wlb, pip etc in Amazon. I have friends from Amazon, none in mastercard. Anyone from mastercard can help about wlb,

At this point i'm willing sacrifice pay difference , to give myself a little peace. I have some family issues in India, which i feel I can balance if I'm in mastercard. please provide your inputs so it can help me decide. Thank you #tech #dataengineer

  • Mastercard has a decent work life balance, usually and people here are nice and understanding.

    All of that being said, I would still take the Amazon offer. You are going to learn a lot more there, you're going to be more marketable, and your career prospects will be better.

      Thanks for the tip. my hiring manager agreed to work from home, Initially i was asked to move to the west, where the project team was located. But after negotiations , they agreed to have work from the location where i'm right now in east, as long as I want. RTO will also the office east most probably, not sure if they would change that after i start working for them. Salary is subpar, but I am not stressing enough there

  • MasterCard has great WLB, we get half days every Friday right now and a decent amount of PTO. Great benefits, if you put in 6% they put in 10% to 401K for example. That said, I am right now looking to move to Amazon for potentially a 2x TC increase. MC pays well for the area and great WLB but Amazon is a better brand for the resume and better pay. I don’t plan to be there forever, probably a few years and then move but for my career I think it will be worth it.

  • Massive turnover here in the DE side, tech stack is also not evolving. You will become good at SQL and that’s it…stay away!
