Got an offer for a sales applications manager role at Cisco and a Strategic AE role at Amazon - both are basically the same pay (130~ base, 220 OTE)
I don’t have any friends at either company so I was curious if anyone has experience and can shed some light on culture/ work life balance to help me make a decision? Thanks for the help guys!

Microsoft > Google > AWS in my opinon!

Thanks!
I recruit cloud sales at AWS. I have worked for Google and I turned down an offer from Microsoft.
It can be tricky to get into AWS cloud sales without prior cloud sales experience, but not always. The roles I work on require it for the most part… But there are several teams here that are able to train the gap. If you don't have cloud experience and struggle to get traction at AWS or Google, I would recommend starting at Microsoft because you'll learn a ton!! You'll get exposure to the clients and verticals needed to start digging into legacy systems and understanding what those clients need for their digital cloud transformation. Once you understand what they're working with, and you start to understand the lift it takes to get them to the cloud, google and AWS will value that highly!!
At some point this market is likely to slow down. Do you see that coming soon?
If pay is the same, I'd look for best culture and WLB. I'd say Google, then Microsoft, then AWS

Gotcha thanks
Wow - congrats on the offers! I'd go with Google if it were me. Best overall for culture, from what I've heard.

Don’t have offers yet - I’m planning to begin applying to all 3 and want to know which one to focus most of my efforts on
