How long does Amazon take to release offer letter? It has been a week since the recruiter called and told me I was selected. I also have the salary breakup and date of joining given. Only offer letter is not yet released. How many days does it usually take for Amazon to release offer letter. Waiting so I can give resignation to my current organization. Thanks. Amazon Amazon India

Worked in both (now in London). Definitely a win move, London is much cheaper.
Rent I would say 80% more expensive in Manhattan than Central London.
Grocery is double in NYC than in London.
Restaurant/clubbing is 20% more expensive in London than NYC.
Healthcare is free. Top private healthcare that covers 100% like AXA (deducted from salary) is $100 per month. Yes, just that.
You should expect mandatory ~25 off days and unlimited sick days, and at least 1 month notice period and 2 weeks severance.
Life insurance in case of your death, you should have much more in your London contract (I was at $200K in NYC, £1M in London).
Tax is the same at Associate level (~33%).
If you’re an Associate and you’re, I’m guessing, at $175K in NYC, in terms of life standards you will be flat in the £100K region.
