Lots of reasons. What's been particularly hard this year, though, is the forced return to office (which includes forced relocation for many), constant lay offs, YoY decrease in total compensation and increasing workload while in a hiring freeze.

To add to all of that, the way the top line leaders (Andy Jassy and his directs) have handled communication of each of those items has been piss poor at best.

NY will have the highest pay ban but Seattle will generally have more long-term opportunities. Although, there are many options in all 3 locations.

I've worked for Amazon a long time and have, overall had good experience. However, this has been the worst year at Amazon by far. Company culture is taking a nose dive

1. Whatever works best for your family
2. From what I understand, not a good pace

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
