hi all, I work in Data science. i got an offer from Amazon. after a heavy heart I accepted it and now I have submitted papers for my H1B transfer which they still havent filed yet. My current job is also not that great and my company wont do GC filing. But I dont feel like joining. I am not excited. The reasons I dont want to join Amazon is: 1. Pay is just 95k for Seattle which is less for staying near to office. 2. i have to stay in Bulleve which is far and due to health issues I cant travel much everyday 3. The work will be working on is on internal tools so if I have to switch later I would have to work on my own for tools like Python or SAS which is in demand in market. i work on them currently. 4. The work is not technical as the role is planning analyst and hence wont be useful in future opportunities 5. Amamzon will file GC in EB3 when I fulfill all criteria for EB2 6. the role is not in data science and not wven slightly related to data science The reason to join: 1. amazon is ready to do GC filing from first day of filing in EB3. I thought its better to have some visa filing than no filing. 2. I am not great in technical. I know SQL very well. i can work in python, SAS and R and Tableau for data science part but cant do deep level coding. i know what to do if a dataset is given to me but I dont feel confident in coding rounds of interviews 3. I dont have any other offer in hand. I have interviews though from other companies 4. Amazon tag my current H1-B expires Sept 2020 and my extension is coming up. could anybody suggest if I have to join or not. I am not able to make decision
What options do you have?
Right now either I can stick to where I am and try for other jobs or just take this one and sulk everyday
Don’t compromise, keep looking for what you want, you will find it.
Amazon is one of the top companies in the world. You'll be fine
Only if being in a company that has a lot of money meant being fine.
Well his alternative is not working in this country unless he has other data he's not sharing
Don't short sell yourself. Use it as a backup offer and look for other jobs
Don’t join
SAS is in demand, in 2019?
Join. It is a better brand name then Tata. Ppl don't like hiring from Indian consulting shop. Just leave after a year.
