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.
