Trying to compare two exit opportunities. One is to Amazon for senior technical program manager role and other is delivery solution architect at Databricks. Amazon total comp will probably be a little more. Any advice or suggestions on which to take in terms of career growth, job stability and pay growth?

Databricks; Amazon is going down hill right now. Databricks will go public this or next year! Please take me to nice steak house if you take my advice and join Databricks lol 🤣🤣

They are entirely different role. So you may need to go with what you like : program management or solution architecture

Every company has a ladder to climb. Amazon will have more options for internal mobility , switching teams etc , just because they are huge. Databricks will offer you paper money when it comes to equity. AMZN stock is relatively more stable, again, because they are huge

No job is stable in tech.

You don’t seem to have an offer as you don’t know the comp. Get the offer and compare again

Interesting, Amazon has an entire TPM job family.

But with that said, I guess it’s up to OP again as they are different roles.

Databricks much better culture. I’d never go to Amazon - you can tell in the interview process and anytime you spend in their NYC office that they couldn’t pay me enough to join them.

Is work life balance better at one vs the other?

Amazon - a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. One is a gamble and the other is rock solid.

Which did you end up taking ? Interviewing with databricks right now

It went okay but didn’t end up getting an offer. I was applying for a product marketing role
