HELP! Need some advice đŸ™đŸ»

Ive recently interviewed at a tech unicorn (data integration tool), an IPaaS company &
Amazon AWS (SDR/ BDR for all)

pay wise, the IPaaS company & AWS pays a lot better whereas culture wise tech unicorn & AWS is better. There’s potential career growth for all, just that with the tech unicorn, progression may be faster as they r expanding.

I’m torn now and don’t know which to choose. Heard it’s quite tough to work in AWS
Would appreciate any advice! Thank u

Interview doesn’t equal offer.

Keep asking questions, learn about culture and team goals. Make sure they align to your core skills you’re focused your career on and business interests (startup, mid cap, enterprise, industry, etc).

Once I picked up two different girls over two nights and I was freaking out over which to prioritize, etc. Advice was to let it play out. One removed herself from the conversation and the other was fun while it lasted (exchange student).

Oops forgot to mentioned I’ve got offer for the first two companies and have good feeling with aws.

Haha that’s a good example..
Given the choice with AWS and the tech unicorn, I really don’t know which one to choose cause I want to make sure I can grow my career in the next company I go to

Amazon has a good company culture? Never heard that before.

I'd ask current employees in similar roles about how the commission and growth prospects play out. Not all products and sales ops teams handing out territories are created equal, and your pay can come out looking quite different in spite of the contract you sign.

I joined a great team at AWS (non tech tho ) and went here over a startup for the notoriety. Depending how early in your career you are you may prefer having AWS on your resume as a future door-opener. It’s not a perfect place but you’ll get that with most jobs. The startup could expose you to way more in one role than AWS though. Go with your gut + what will be best for you.

I was at Big 4 consulting for a year before lateraling to ACN recently. It’s been about 6 months at ACN. Now I have an industry offer for Product Manager, which has been my eventual goal. Would it be too soon to jump? Or should I stick around for better exits in a couple of years may be? I’m worried the frequent changes won’t look good on my resume
4 YOE overall, TC at Product Manager is about 20-25k > ACN.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
