Google: a few reasons: I) refreshers policy: by and large you’re locked into the salary at amazon, at google you can expect consistent growth. I received bigger increase on my first perf than over 2 years at amazon. ii) opportunity to make more money (assuming CE role at GCP, you can try beat quota to make more) iii) more perks - better (actual) 401k, better WLB, better food, whatnot.

Amazon has some positives as well (market leader, better perception) but I’m very very happy at Google and as are 100s of ex-amazonians.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
