I am currently SDE II at amazon - been SDE2 for last one year. Recently interviewed at Meta and got an offer for E4. My WLB is pretty decent at amazon. My WLB is not bad as many blind Amazonian’s say.
Confused whether I should stay at amazon and try for L6 or take the jump to meta.
Realistically I feel it might take at least 1.5-2.5 years to become SDE 3 at amazon. Not sure about meta.
I understand the TC gap , but not sure if I should jump ship just for TC. The main demotivating factor at amazon is that they don’t give refreshers / new hires get upwards of 370k - who basically has no knowledge abt the product. I don’t see any steps taken by amazon to bridge this gap. (New base cap limit increase - pure publicity stunt. They won’t be increasing my TC by 130k per year to match the external TC)
Current TC - 240K
Meta TC - 317k (excluding bonus )
