Hi,
I recently got an offer from Amazon for sde new grad and I’m thinking if I should join or not as I have heard a lot about toxic work culture. I’m getting a base of 129k + 27k joining bonus and 94k in stocks. It is higher than my current salary but I’m getting a lower title. What should I do? Should I negotiate on salary ? Or on the role? I had applied to a new grad role so O think I can’t negotiate on the role?

WLB is very team dependent. Some things that you could try to evaluate:

Who is your manager? Have they been with Amazon long? If they are new it could indicate turnover on the team or that they might struggle adapting to Amazons fast paced culture.

Does you manager have a spouse or kids? If so, they might be more in tune to a good WLB.

Lastly, and controversial, what is your manager’s ethnicity?

These are all generalizations. Also, Amazon titles aren’t as important compared to Big 4.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
