    If you think of long term... any sane person will definitely suggest amazon because if its about $ , there is no match between cisco and amazon. Your career would have a different launchpad , definitely. Although the cost of living is high in Seattle, the number of opportunities are way way to higher and with your exp , you can easily make 300k in a couple of years which is never going to happen in cisco period. Amazon culture might be shit but cisco is way more shitty . At least you would grow faster in amazon than cisco. Wlb will def not be good in amazon but you definitely can move on for another job like now. The game is a longer one , op. Good luck

    I would take take amazon in this case,
    - good TC
    - high learning and growth (make sure you like work and team; as much as you can know before joining)
    - Seattle will have better opportunities and also people to help you grow as meet up and hackathon and all.
    - are they providing you relocation?
    Think about long term pros and cons.
