AWS is Amazon’s real cash cow. It is a super in-demand product and has a very long, almost guaranteed growth trajectory. That will reflect well on your resume even if you yourself don’t contribute that much to changing the bottom line. Amazon would not be Amazon without AWS

Gross Margin is a proxy for prestige.

AWS wins.

Depends. Amazon and AWS like any company has various areas but prestige isn’t the focus. AWS tends to pay slightly better but it dependson the org.

I can say that the compensation at Amazon over 4 years+ has been more lucrative than consulting.

This is really your concern? Prestige? Not, which may provide better experiences for my development or which would provide better compensation.. but PRESTIGE?!

The obsession with prestige continues to baffle those of us living in the real world 🤷‍♀️

Oooohhhh the PRESTIGE

What makes you say so? What is “more” prestigious then?

Equal level of prestige, equal level of competitiveness, a little better pay.

I would look at it from a brand value perspective... many consulting firms have a top brand ... Amazon/AWS also has a great brand. Put another way think about it from will it help or hurt when looking for your next job?
