Got an Amazon Tax offer for a mid level position, but unsure if it's worth the switch. Total comp is will be unchanged, and WLB seems to be the same. Main thing going for it is I could probably have a longer career there. Anyone have any advice or insight they could share with me?

Hi OP, I work in the Amazon tax department and have been there for over four years. I came from EY. I am happy to answer any questions you have. You can DM me or I will answer here as well.

Why would you switch for the same comp? The upward mobility is also going to be more limited. Places like Amazon put former partners as their leaders, not people who have been in house for a while.

That’s actually not true at Amazon. We promote from within as a first preference. All four of our tax VPs were promoted to that level after having worked at Amazon for a long time. Many of the directors I work with have all been at Amazon for several years and worked their way up to that level.

You also said total comp which mean you might make even less assuming stock comp is baked in.
