DM me for referral in TCS
Hi all,
I’m looking to relocate to Seattle. Does anyone know if any of the Big 4 are still recruiting campus hires to start in Summer/Fall 2023? I’m open to either Audit or Tax, but I have internship experience in Tax.
I applied and received an offer at a Big 4 in San Francisco (campus hire), but I’ve decided Seattle is the better fit for me as it will be closer to my hometown and family in Vancouver.
Thanks!

never go for contractor roles
Contract don't get renewed during downtrends.

Hey guys, I have actually joined the contract role last monday. Background- I had left Amazon in Feb because of poor work culture and was looking for a better opportunity since long. But then job market suddenly dipped and this is what I got after so many rejections. I had no other option.
Can you please tell why contract role is bad compared to FTE apart from job security. I thought this will provide me opportunity to work on different kind of tools and projects.
Chief
They’re providing medical and life insurance. And why does it negatively impact the resume. Few other comments said the same thing. Whereas on google, I read it’s better than FTEs as you get to work on different type of projects and tools
Contractor
Why no hike in Amazon for 4 years?
Also your techstack,yoe & cctc
But in 4 years you will get promotion , if your current level is l4
Non faang retaill giant = Walmart 🤣
Yes you will not get many benefits..but yeah target is very good..
No contractor role
Chief
So your point is job security. Got it
Never join any contractor role or any third party payroll
Chief
Can you please tell, in your opinion, the cons of it?
Your TC seems quite less.
@Data Engineer 1 If they are SDE1 at Amazon, their TC for 1 year would be around 25-35 LPA including every component (stocks, bonuses etc). This is after the recent corrections they did, previously it was bit less than this.
The higher amount 30-35 is only for experienced (2+ YOE) people who got down levelled during interviews otherwise it will be between 25-30.
I have seen people being hired as SDE1 even at 4 YOE, and SDE2 at 2 YOE and of course the latter earns higher. So compensation is completely dependent on position offered.
SDE2 is where the salary starts hiking way too fast, especially compared to other companies who offer competitive salary to SDE1 but not to higher roles. Minimum I've seen for SDE2 at Amazon is ~45 LPA TC, and maximum around 90 LPA.
No contractor role. Your resume won't make it to the next round going ahead.
Chief
Why though? Won’t it provide me more opportunities to work on diverse projects?
Amazon pays this low?
Please update how it goes..i also have thought about contract roles but always everyone tells against it..
