Not a place to camp. A lot of people burn after two years which is right before the stock bonus hits. “They will use every second you have” is a statement I heard from multiple unrelated friends of mine who work there.

Agreed.

I also know a few people who joined AWS, only to switch to another place within two years.

I have to admit though, if they offered the $, I’d be tempted.

Are they on a hiring spree lately?

What’s the money like that it seems to entice so many? Curious :)

There is a limit on your base, I heard $185k or something in that range and this includes Bezos. First two years cash bonus which is fixed, you know the bonus when you join. After that you start getting the stock bonus. Heard ranges from 300k, 700k, and north of that. It is a great place if you want to work hard. I know a few folks there, all are very smart and working bees.

100% agree

They are definitely on a hiring spree. All 6 people who left my practice in last 2 months joined AWS.

What was their background? Or what type of role did they move into? I thought everyone needs tp have a background in IT infrastructure or cloud. Etc.

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

How do you judge when to leave a company for something better if you never burn out or hate where you are?
My specific situation: 4 years out of undergrad with Slalom, I like my job/coworkers and am making solid money but am starting to be qualified for interesting/lucrative exit ops. Not trying to grass-is-always-greener myself out of a good thing and I'm in no rush to leave, but how do I know when it's time to take advantage of other opportunities? Would love any advice from older folks!
