Can’t seem to edit the post.
Uber - Payments Amazon - Ads Google - GCP internal tooling

Amazon ads are high revenue making. GCP is layoff prone, uber payments is in the middle

GCP is pretty Rough, that's the worst team in Google with the highest attrition Rate, choose wisely.

Do some research for the Ads team, if you're gonna get milked either way, do it for more money.

Uber might be a good choice depending on your lifestyle choices(WLB over money), but similarly research on the team first.

Best of luck, you're at an amazing position in life!

30L difference between goog and AMZN. Depends on your priority I guess. Mind sharing your tech stack?

And is it like a tech lead position?

Of course. Mostly been on go/python for the last few years with the usual distributed system stack(Microservices/grpc/pub-sub/nosql db)

Isn't uber low balling you? They give 40ish to sde2s, do verify with leetcode salaries

Thanks for this. Will check LC salaries. Uber seems quite low for the role.

Is it a normal salary range for 10 YOE? Makes me wonder how can a person jump that high? Would you mind providing your bases, starting as a fresher and now

Non big tech (Salesforce etc) - 10x YoE Big Tech (MAANG) - 12-15x Yoe

As long as you're levelled correctly.
Range is not for <2yoe, that can be anywhere.

Most of the folks I know are within the 1 Cr range at 10-12 YOE if FAANG.

Go to google. Amazon stock is not yearly vested right?

PeppyWalrus
PeppyWalrus

It is vested yearly

Then go for amazon. But as far as i know amazon vesting schedule is 5, 15, 40 ,40

Fyi only ctc is inflated ,take home for overall ctc would be 60/15.5 =3.87 lakhs per month

Why do we divide by 15.5 ?

Chose Google, (commenting like I am a vetran in this) PS- my own salary is <20 lpa. Lol. I feel like a loser.

I know it’s easy for me to say. Salary isn’t a metric for your opinion. And definitely doesn’t categorize you as a loser.

With Google, my domain shifts to internal tooling, hence the confusion.

Are you in FAANG currently, how do you keep yourself calm while going through such strenuous interview rounds, how long have you been practicing, do you have set of qs that you mainly focus on for hld and lld or you have gained that expertise to tackle any hld/lld question?

PeppyWalrus
PeppyWalrus

Have had past experience at MSFT. Not calm during interviews at all, every round starts with panic. Practicing for 4.5 months. Have job hunted 2 years back as well so patent questions such as blind 75, usual high frequency lists, grokking the system design, etc. HLD/LLD I revisit trade offs and components. The rest is just understanding based on work ex and past practice.

Seems like an L5 offer from Google. Maybe try matching with other teams in Google (so many roles open in Bangalore ) and try negotiating with HR if possible.

Two months of team fit. Open roles being entertained only for internal moves at the moment.
