    Could you share your yoe. Amazon L7. Even internally it can open many doors because you can easily switch to sr.sdm, if you are interested, but cannot do that in Meta.

    L7 TPM in Amazon is the king of playing politics. I would join Meta.

      It's also called influencing without authority. 🙂 After you hit a certain level you have to navigate the sharks to get things done.

  • Wow! I really didn't think AMZN would lead this poll..I was actually leaning Meta! I hear that with AMZN the pay will be fixed for the four years...you don't get anything additional...isn't that true?

      Correct. Remember that blind mostly cares about the tc number. No matter what poll it is, higher number wins. They don’t consider refreshers or other factors in the equation. So take the poll with a grain of salt.

      Yes, that’s key.

      Amazon: Nice upfront TC. No perks + no refreshers. Unless you get lucky and are a top performer all the time, in Y3 when you find out your Y5 number, you’ll see the cliff and quit. E.g. My Y5 number was 25% less than my Y1 comp. And about 50% less than the inflated stock price comp.

      Meta: Slightly lower upfront TC. Tons of perks and annual refreshers.
      If you haven’t negotiated this, ask them to match / beat the Amazon one and take it.

    Comp will be similar over the years at Amazon. Amazon comp doesn't grow by a lot. Promotions will be near impossible to L8. Meta may have more upside.

    However based on my conversations, Amazon L7s (I'm one) have the scope of a Sr. M1 or Jr. M2 at Meta. Technically you're getting paid less for more work. But if you like having large scope and broad influence go with Amazon. My comp is average but I'm content with it.

    Personally I'd choose Amazon. I'm biased of course.

    The scope of L7 a wider than the equivalent role at Facebook.
