Both Seattle. L4 Uber, L5 Amazon.
Current Level at MS: 63 (just got promoted)
YOE: 6

Amazon - L5 - Good Cash first 2 years. Bad every other aspect and long term.

Base: 151
Stocks: 105 units (5, 15, 40, 40)
Joining Bonus: 80K year 1. 60K year 2.
Yearly refresher: Nothing until 2021.

Uber - L4: - No gains first year. Good long term.
Base - 151
Stocks - 7K units (25, 25, 25, 25)
Joining Bonus: 50k over 2 years (25/25).
Yearly refresher: 52K

Considering all other benefits including yearly hike, yearly perf bonus, free food, free commute, fitnesses etc. what would you recommend?

Short term Amazon seems good because my pay check is literally doubled or at least 1.5 times.

Long term Uber seems better because of yearly refreshers, stock appreciation etc.
