Just received an offer at AWS for a L6 IC role. But am also in the running for a Manager job at HPE… what is a better career move? AWS will pay more most likely ($185k TC) but is it better to have people leadership experience for the long run? Even if the TC is lower? (Waiting to hear back on offer amount) OR is having AWS on your resume a better option. - Bay Area - non-tech roles - 8 YOE
People management experience is useful but not at old world companies like HPE. It will not count for much if you want to eventually go to startups or high growth companies. In fact it could even be a liability.
A liability? How so?
Never amazon
Go with Amazon. Better for your future - technology, brand, and people.
how are you doing at amazon ? Still there ?
185K TC is at HPE? Yeah, you can easily like double it with AWS L6.
$185k TC is with AWS. It’s a non technical role
