Been @ Uber for just about 3 years. In June I started a new role for a product that is just beginning to launch in the US. It's Ent sales and OTE is $180k. Previously, I was selling to SMB. Around the same time I was interviewing for the new role, Amazon reached out to asking me to apply for an SMB job. I made it through ($190k, no commission), and ended up turning them down (mainly bc of culture.) They reached out yesterday offering me $250k (no commission plan until '23). What would you do?

Just say no. You didn’t say no because of the money, you said no because of the culture. That culture won’t be changing soon. You’ll pay a personal health and well-being tax from exposure to that toxicity.

Are you asking if if is okay for you to get paid 70k more than you currently are? -yes

Maybe you were low-balled in the offer the first time and they think you caught on and are trying to incentivize.

I don't know about their company culture. So go with your gut if you are not convinced about the other factors.

Or is it a faith kind of thing with the product launch around the corner? Any upside to it?

Amazon is a work horse and expects the same of their employees. I have interviewed a couple of times for them and declined. There was a higher up HR role I was in the running for and they would change your shift every 6 months because they didn’t want you to be complacent or comfortable. I am all for growth as a professional but that doesn’t work for me.

Enterprise Sales is stressful wherever you're at, you've got to learn to manage it in all cases. That said $180k is awfully low for an Enterprise AE. My recommendation is to grin and bare a few years at Amazon, with the understanding that you will soon be well positioned to make significantly more than $180k with a ton more options being available to you with both Uber and Amazon on your resume.

Honestly. Culture of the company does not necessarily reflect the teams culture. You might get lucky. If you need the money, I’d reconsider Amazon.

I’m an AM at Uber selling to SMB and honestly Amazon and Uber from my POV have about the same culture.

If I was you I would run as quickly as you can to Amazon. Uber has been way too unpredictable these past few years even before COVID.

Uber culture/wlb is definitely becoming worse because of the financial distress but really not sure how that compares to amazon. Culture/wlb wise I think it'll be a gamble either way but pay at amazon will be better. Depends on which things you value more for the delta in pay.

If I need a more stable job with competitive pay, I'd say yes. But I also understand you when it comes to the culture of a company. It would really affect my performance and not allow me to develop my skills. So, it depends on your priorities at the moment.

They are under paying you. Your OTE needs to be closer to $350k.
