Real talk. Let’s say you had your own company - if you had to choose between AWS and GCP which one would you choose?

AWS, I work in the space and they are far more mature. First mover advantage, more mature, you name it. That’s not to discredit GCP, but they have work to do. For start up/small company purposes, you can’t do better than AWS. Hope this helps, OP

Personal opinion is AWS. If it was "my" company.

But they all have their use cases:
- GCP for machine learning, and some of their advanced networking
- Azure for anything .NET framework, and the Microsoft ecosystem (Visual Studio, VSTS, TFS, Active Directory, o365, bundled pricing, etc)
- AWS for literally everything else.

AWS has the number of services, regions, 3rd party integrations, 1st and 3rd party documentation and tutorials, to scratch any itch. In my opinion, talent and experience are also easier to find probably due to time on market and overall market share (of native public cloud, not XaaS like o365 being thrown in).

Unless you are one of the specific use cases above, you tend to need a reason NOT to use AWS.

- my 2 cents

The cloud strategy should not be dedicated to one vendor. They each have different options, capabilities, and pricing models... essentially pros and cons depending on the solution you need. Focus on your requirements to see which vendor is a better fit.

Anything but Azure - Microsoft EA is egregious. GCP is generally cheaper than AWS, leading ML / AI capabilities and more innovative. AWS has broadest offering and feels more like traditional enterprise IT offering. If it were me, I’d start with GCP and look to AWS when GCP did not have what I need.

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??
