Have two offers anyone thought through this before? One is with Amzn- great role but high pressure and would require me to relocate eventually which I can’t commit to but hoping with COVID I can push it off till next summer or indefinitely. The other is with a financial services company- not as much prestige or muscle building, lower $$, but still a pay bump and better WLB. I am really truly going back and forth- any advice on what to consider? I’d be a fool walking away from Amazon but I’d be

If you will be depressed what is the point? If you are still getting a pay bump and you'll be happy in other role, that seems better for you.

Interviewer said most people knock off around 5:30. I was shocked.

lonely and depressed in my mid thirties in a city where I have never even been thousands of miles away from those I love. Plus I hear amazon’s culture is 💩. But it’s SO much money and would look amazing on my resume.

Never heard financial services and WLB in the same breath before... I'd go with Amazon... Cash in and jump jobs again if you can't keep up.... With Amazon on your resume your options after will be endless!

Yeah don't think of it in terms of just prestige and money. I prefer to factor in impact and interest in the work. Amazon seems like there would provide more opportunity to create impact and the work sounds cool!

Agreed the role has legs

What is the role btw

amazon

What cities are they both in? If you have to move, which city would you be happier in?

I’m having a hard time finding firms that are hiring entry level associate positions that don’t require at least 3+ years experience in-house. Should I start at a business law firm to get experience working with corporations first?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
