I'm joining AWS as a middle manager making the same TC first year partners will make. The RSUs stand the chance to be just as lucrative over time, and I can get it at HQ2 near DC

Alphabet’s new CEO Sundar Pichai joined Google in 2004 from McKinsey when the firm was much much smaller. That fast growth area is behind us. Google’s market cap won’t go up another 10 fold in the next decade. Also anti-trust laws and other government restrictions can hit the tech giants.

Some people can still argue that adding these names to your CV is great. Is that your main motivation?
