Then does Amazon belong there? I didn’t get the impression it’s at the level of the others, but closer to Microsoft.

- whimsicalism 5y agoLower than Microsoft prestige-wise.
- Sanguinaire 5y agoHighly debatable. While Amazon is more likely to be on the shit-list of Joe Public, in technical circles it comes down to AWS vs MS. Frankly if MS hadn't bought GitHub to distract magpie developers, there would be no contest.
- whimsicalism 5y agoAmazon has the lowest hiring bar because of high turnover. AWS vs Azure is besides the point.
- Sanguinaire 5y agoHaving worked for both, I would dispute the hiring bar point - but I'm sure it is team dependent.
- awsthro00945 5y agoAmazon is lower than Google, FB, and Netflix, but still quite a bit higher than MS. According to levels.fyi for engineers all at the same level (~5ish YOE): - MS: $185k - Amazon: $230k - Google: $267k
- ozzythecat 5y agoThis is the middle to lower end of Amazon L5 comp for an SDE. I don’t know about the other companies - it might be mid to lower end for them as well or maybe high end depending on where they hire at.
- whimsicalism 5y agoDon't think those MS numbers are accurate, esp. once you throw in GitHub and LinkedIn.
- awsthro00945 5y agoLinkedIn is definitely higher (dunno about GitHub), but in almost every discussion I've seen about comps, LinkedIn is always talked about separately from MS. On levels.fyi, for example, LinkedIn is in it's own section separate from MS.
