Amazon Edinburgh (Advertising Team) or Shopee Singapore?
Hi, my friend is deciding a very important life decision:
I'm a SWE in Shopee Singapore.
Current TC: USD 60k gross, 57.25k nett
Recently I got an offer from Amazon Edinburgh, Advertising team (SDE I)
Base: £50k
Sign-on: £18.5k + £15k
RSU: 22 over 4 years (current value: £1.97k)
TC first year: about £70k or USD 88k gross, 62k nett
Edinburgh cost of living is pretty much the same with Singapore.
Should I stay with Shopee or should I go with Amazon?
Several things to take into account:
1. I am from Indonesia, so plane ticket home from EDI much higher than SG
2. I started working at Shopee early May (1 month), expected start month is November. Is it too soon to jump ship?
I'm also open for any insight (WLB, how long it takes from SDE I to SDE II, Peer) about Amazon Edinburgh especially Advertising Team.
Thanks in advance.
Yoe: 2

2 yoe at Shopee should get 250k TC.
Your friend is being lowballed af, he will leave shopee eventually in the future.
FAANG on resume is better and opens more doors later.
I'll update my friends decision
Thank u for you guys' opinions!
Is race discrimination a factor?
Choose for your experience, salary is almost the same. Taxes will eat any difference you get.
For Indonesians:
Choose Scotland if you want adventure.
Choose Singapore if you want comfort.
