Amazon. As a swe you get so much autonomy and experience working on massively scalable systems. You’ll get a lot thrown at you quick but if you can keep up it will 3x your growth as an engineer and open up so many doors. 2 years as a swe at Amazon = 4 years at a regular tech company

I'd say Amazon, since you'll probably make more in a shorter period of time. If you didn't need short term money, I'd lean toward mid-tier or series D.

3 years is a good period for options to vest. Probably Amazon. Series D is later so you might have a worse strike price (and no guarantee of an exit event).

Amazon vs mid-tier comes down to comp package. There’s def some out there that will beat Amazon but it’s all 🤷🏻‍♂️

series D startup

Disagree since OP specified <3 years. Waiting for an IPO + lockout period means you’re probably not liquidating any equity

I’d go with Amazon.

I guess I'd have to say wherever you could most easily embezzle funds

funny

Yep, probably Amazon.

Depends, but i'd bet on the series D startup

If you think you could make a profitable exit perhaps. If you're the gambling type ; )

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.
