I have an offer from Google (L5), FB (E5) and I am currently L5 at Amazon. I am on track to get promoted to L6 at Amazon (maybe Q1 2021). Which one should I pick?
Current TC at Amazon: 240k (stock inflation has brought it close to 475k) for next year.
FB Offer 400k
Google offer 380k
Still negotiating ...
I am in a really good team within Amazon. But the tools are shit. I spend most of my time working around broken tools and feel like I am not maximising my potential.
I matched with what seems like a good team within Google. Facebook team also looks decent. I have positive signal about it. Maybe not as technically solid as the Google team, but still pretty good.
My background: ML PhD.

I have bias but hear me out.
The technology and culture surrounding ml/ai is really good here. They really stress the importance of it in the team. And all ml/ai teams are high impact and great visibility. The tooling is superb which makes you spend all your time focusing on your work and not fixing shit stuff. Lot of learning opportunities, growth and strong technical foundation
They were like the innovator in that respect, to really invest in dev productivity as itβs own thing (not tied to big product launches)
Dono about FB tho. I would guess they cargo culted that mentality but probably not to the same extent (with the motto move fast break stuff)
I'm an AS who got promoted to L6 earlier this year with a similar TC as OP, and I know how Amazon's structure puts you at the bottom of the next band after promotion. Another couple of friends got promoted at the same time and we all had target comps of 340 and actual comps lower or higher due to past ratings and stock stuff.
