The average Google offer is way higher than Amazon. There are stats to prove this. Even without the offer the benefits are way better. The hiring bar is higher.

The average Google offer is way higher than Amazon. There are stats to prove this. Even without the offer the benefits are way better. The hiring bar is higher. Look around you...very few people make the opposite move. You will probably retort with some hyperbole. But everyone knows that this is the truth.

I thought interviewing was supposed to be "random". > Look around you...very few people make the opposite move. I work with a handful of people that did, actually > But everyone knows that this is the truth. You're, uh..really not helping the brand here dude..
- mav3rick 7y ago> Handful of people that did... I know at least 20 that made the opposite move. All vow to never go back to Amazon. I can't hurt the brand any more than it is on HN :) Thankfully, the Google name is respected way more in the real world. Just go to r/cscareerquestions and grep for "Amazon vs Google" and see what most new grads and senior engineers say.
- Gibbon1 7y agoVowing to never go back to Amazon is a pretty low bar tho.
- mav3rick 7y agoOp is from Amazon, hence the comparison.
- Gibbon1 7y agoOver the last 40 years of working in the bay area I've noted that a lot of people don't understand how shitty big tech companies are to work for.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoIs Google not big too? Google and Amazon have approximately the same number of software engineers.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoI feel like you're desperately trying to convince me of my inferiority without actually saying it. It's honestly really strange to see.
