Hey guys,

I’ve received an offer from Amazon and currently work at a startup with a pretty decent work culture. Amazon is offering around a 45% hike, and my manager said he’ll try to match the compensation.

I’m conflicted because I’m worried about Amazon’s WLB/work culture, but I’m also not sure how well my current startup will scale, what its runway looks like, or how stable the opportunity is. At the same time, I’m hesitant to give up the brand value and career growth that Amazon could offer.

If compensation is matched, would you still choose Amazon, or is a good work culture and startup environment worth staying for?

Would love to hear from people who’ve been in a similar situation.
