I got offers for both Amazon and Meta. Amazon: 575k Meta: 517k Since Meta has better refresher, Meta TC will be larger in a few years. Which would you choose? L4 TC 350k 9 yoe
I don't think Amazon provides 575k for SDE 3. My friend is a senior manager at Amazon and he told me the max they provide for SDE 3 is 480k.
Is this for a ML engineer ?
Congrats!
Take Amazon better scope in general.. meta is backlogged to e6 promotion and it will be a long tine. If you find right team you have possibility to go to l7 in 3 yrs
Hey op, congrats on the great offers. Care to share your prep for interviews. Thanks!
+1 Can you share your prep for the interviews?
PhD? Any hooks for that L6 offer can you provide a breakdown? I would recommend Meta over FB, your TC will drop at Amazon over time and go up at Meta with refreshers, also small shot at principal promo vs E6. Also amazon sucks more esp bad on call
TC : Meta will beat Amazon with performance refreshers. There's no such thing at Amazon if you come in at the top of the band for level. Growth: Amazon L7 is a LONG shot and Meta E6 is quite possible. Scope of work: Definitely larger at Amazon while Meta E5 is somewhere between Amazon L5/L6. Perks: Banana and leftover food at Amazon. Meta we all know about. As an L6 at Amazon you will mostly spend your day time in meetings and nights on your tasks. On Call will be an absolute nightmare if you are in AWS or customer facing teams. No idea about Meta.
Solid offers, congrats op!
Wow. What group? If Amazon is paying that much I’d be talking to a recruiter to boomerang

Meta E5 offer at 517k? Really?
Including signon averaged over 4 years
Did you think that was too low?
