Very very team dependent. Have some friends who said it was way worse than consulting and others who after transitioning said it got much better.

Interested as well.

Way easier in my experience than my time at EY. But I feel like the teams where it's more chill are also at the bottom of the pay band. I have a buddy who is a SWE, barely does any work, but is at the bottom of his band because his team isn't one of those sexy ones people grind for.

But better salary?

Soooo Amazon offers all sorts of vested benefits, but they ran the numbers and figured out you’d quit at a certain day, so you vest one day after you get fed up an quit in anger
