l5 at amazon vs l3 at google is pretty funny
I would also factor in the team culture and immediate managment.
It's hard to get a sense of culture from an external perspective. All managers have been putting their best foot forward during interviews and chats. No manager has stood out as amazing, but all of them seem like nice people
Don’t go for Uber marketplace, at all cost. What a mess
Low-key done with Seattle after this snow storm 😂
Why would you stay in Amazon with those options. Move! I'd pick Uber with their IPO upside but any of those options are way better than where you're at right now.
IPO has upside but is also risky for a business that isn't profitable and has many competitors
Mind me asking how you prepared? Those seem like good offers.
mind sharing your interview experience with Uber?
I had a really pleasant experience, 1 coding rounding, 1 algorithm round, 1 system design round, 1 bar raiser round, 1 hiring manager round....pm me for additional questions
Will you have to pay back your signon bonus if you left early
Some of the relocation I'll have to pay but not sign-on, I just lose what I haven't made yet
That's good. Does that mean you get paid signon bonus on monthly basis and not at the beginning of each year ?
Why 0 bonus in Amazon?
Because I only got 1.7% base increase last year, so I'm pretty sure they don't give bonus
