Amazon India I got a offer from 1. Amazon Chennai as SDE 2 for x LPA base and 14 Ipa joining bonus and stocks(~8lpa) 2. Early stage seed funded startup at Chennai as founding engineer for the same base pay and no joining bonus and stocks. I'm very confused since I'm from a tier 3 college and have 4 YoE not in a reputed company so I'm very much inclined towards Amazon's offer considering its brand value but I'm worried that I'm missing a good opportunity as founding engineer and bad reviews of Amazon.Amazon I

Sorry for the silly question, but Amazon offers 14L as a joining bonus?
And how much is your experience?

Also to answer your question, it depends on what you're looking for from your career at this point.
If going for bigger companies and experiencing that environment and adding brand value is something you seek, then definitely that.
If you want to experience building a foundation for a startup and experience building everything from scratch, then start-up is your answer.

Also, I've heard the work-life isn't that great in Amazon, but can vary from team to team.
Would be helpful to talk to anyone working in the same team you're getting hired for to understand that aspect, if that matters to you.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
