Amazon is bad no doubt but it's all relative. People who are shocked other people are willing to work there are showing the bubble they live in. Average American deals with similar or worse conditions for a fraction of the salary. Most people don't have the option of picking between different 300K+ FAANG job offers
Not being as cushy as the rest of the big tech companies is still vastly superior to most jobs
- thewarrior 5y agoBut the people working those jobs don't have recruiters beating down the door offering them other jobs.
- MattGaiser 5y agoBut once you get to Amazon, you probably do start to have a decent choice.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoNitpick - where are you seeing those 300K offers? Is that beyond senior dev, because all I see is 100-150K for roles in the Valley (via linkedin and all the salary comparison sites).
- weeznerps 5y agoFAANGs pay 300+ for Senior Engineer roles if you include equity. Many offers are above 400. Check levels.fyi for the most reliable data.
