Google does not pay less than Amazon (source levels.fyi https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Google,Salesforce&track=Software%20Engineer https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Google,Salesforce&tra...). I have heard people claim that Amazon pays more and by that they mean that if you hold your Amazon stock until vesting, it appreciates so much that it ends up being worth more than whatever the Google grant would have been worth. But then you have to ask if the relative performance of the stocks will remain stable over time despite having changed recently, and factor in differences in employee churn and so on.

They pay about 100,000 less. Its widely known, not sure why you are arguing this. Amazon also raised their paybands massively, so a blanket comparison doesnt reflect reality. Look at individual data over the last year or so. Google also downlevels, so comparing levels makes less sense, compare years of experience instead

  Back last July, AWS couldn’t come close to what Meta or Google could offer when I was looking.

  > Amazon also raised their paybands massively that $350k base limit is top of the band, not everyone walking inside the door is going to get that. A friend of mind got an offer from AWS about a month ago, his base was offered $180k
