Hi everyone,
I am current at AWS @ Seattle with L5 and 5 YOE. TC 290k. I love my team at AWS but not sure about the promotion and cliff will happen soon.

Got offers from Google, Airbnb, and Square.

Airbnb Seattle
200K + 592K Equity + 40k sign on, 15% bonus

Google Kirkland
178K + 424K equity + 22.5k sign on, 15% bonus. Initial offer, going to use Airbnb to compete.

Square L5 Seattle
188K + 550K equity. No sign on, no bonus

I am struggling with Airbnb and Google. There is huge difference between them. Is it worthwhile to give up Airbnb's big offer for Google? Does working at Google provide better value for long term career growth?

I am also concerned about Airbnb's future and tech. Anyone has any insight on its future? I also heard the tech at Airbnb is not so good. Infra is awful as well. I am afraid I might not able to learn a lot.

Do not consider Square as the team is not exciting and it has bad refreshers?

Thanks. #Google #Airbnb #Square

UPDATE: I signed with Google for family reasons. Also it matched with Airbnb. Thanks for your help. This is a great community!
