With all the stuff going on, is it still a respectable company to have on my resume as a SWE? There’s a lot of uncertainty here and I’m trying to decide if I should bail or stay to try to get promoted. The work isn’t bad. I have pretty good wlb. The pay is alright but my RSUs are worthless as of now. TC: 180 base, 10% bonus (only 5% this year), 108k RSU at $14 / share (now valued at $3.75 / share based on last secondary transaction) 4 YOE
Damn. I feel like I’ve moved around a lot already. Do HMs care about tenure?
wrong amazon. job hopping early career is bad. 5 yoe is very different than 1 yoe 5 times

Fwiw, it would catch my eye on a resume.
It’s certainly respectable, i don’t think the company going downhill would tarnish my impression of a regular SWE there as much as you think. It’s never been a standout name by any means though, outside of absolute peak hype cycle.
How dare they use 14 as the share price to calculate TC?
The offer included a slider for stock value increase too lol. Up to 10x. The whole thing is ridiculous
It never was
It was never respectable lol
What happens to the company has nothing to do with your contributions as a SWE. Don’t ever forget that. You are good and worth it

Was it ever?
It had a lot of hype at one point 🤷. Pretty good salaries when no one else was hiring
