i think it's gotta be amazon then

#

I don't think it's worth the other opportunities for the slight boost in resume value

#

life outside work is crucial man 🫡

#

Be with your so and family/friends, you'll have time to worry about your career later

polar cosmos Oct 29, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

Both these locations kinda mog Arizona bro

silent oyster Oct 29, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

Bro Amazon just laid off 14k with another 16k planned

#

I don’t know how you can seriously consider it given the other offers u have lol

icy spoke Oct 29, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

might be worth negotiating Amazon if you're set for Arizona

analog coyote Oct 29, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

I'd go for amazon in this case, be a big fish in a small tempe pond vs one of many at DB etc. Could probably leverage your offers to get L5/L6 within the first year at zon and make more anyways

#

i believe they do for people in your circumstances

coral aspen Oct 29, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

U clearly understand the difference in resume value so it’s really just a personal choice

white heath Oct 29, 2025, 10:00 PM

#

@rigid crest don’t take amazon

#

u have two way better options

#

arizona is not far from cali

#

you can afford all the flight tickets u want on that db salary

#

what r u talking abt

#

db is paying 270

#

that’s fine and all

#

270k for one person in the bay area

#

is more than enough

#

how do j not pick db here

#

it’s amazon

#

u can get laid off anytime

#

db has way more res value

#

sure

#

his choice at the end

white heath how do j not pick db here

databricks hiring super aggressively, layoffs inc

bright badger Oct 29, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

As someone from Arizona that went to bay for school pick db bro

#

Bro the bay has nature

#

And abgs

#

Did you go to hs in Arizona

analog coyote Oct 29, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

eh i think tempe is pretty fun, its like nyc without the trash/homeless people but still the liveliness

still pumice Oct 29, 2025, 10:41 PM

#

amazons really good nowadays

#

id take amazon especially for location because of family

bright badger Oct 29, 2025, 10:58 PM

#

Which one

glacial leaf Oct 29, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

Databricks is known in the tech space, but Amazon is a FAANG that everyone in the world knows. I think zon makes sense here

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 12:08 AM

#

Exactly

#

Lightning never strikes the same place twice

polar cosmos Oct 30, 2025, 12:42 AM

#

30k mfs all with the same shit peaked at zon resume competing for the same jobs now

prisma oracle Oct 30, 2025, 12:52 AM

#

this is a joke right

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

Is db botting this poll 😭

#

Zon was almost tied with it and now zon is at lik half

analog coyote Oct 30, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

DB recruiters moved in quickly

smoky anvil Oct 30, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

lol

#

palantir going to garbage

#

down the gutter

#

have heard nothing good about palantir since 2020

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

smoky anvil have heard nothing good about palantir since 2020

So zon then

spark depot Oct 30, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

prestige gap btwn pltr/db and zon is pretty large

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 2:38 AM

So now it’s dpfaang 😂

apple prob should stay in faang if you ask me

#

Amazon 😭

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

60k a year is a ton lol

#

Also 125 is far too low post-tax

#

It’ll be more than that

#

No u don’t lol

#

#

148k post-tax

#

36% tax rate

#

u pay 50% max even if ur making 1m+

#

yes it is

#

#

i put in NYC zip code

#

3.68% here

#

this is effective not marginal

#

ok bruh 10 mil lol

#

nobody making that in tech

#

unless ur the CEO or work at AI labs

#

nah distinguished aint making 10 mil

#

with stock gains maybe

#

but that's taxed differently

#

i checked bay seattle and nyc

#

with 230k:
nyc - 148k
bay - 152k
seattle - 169k

#

bay and nyc are roughly the same

#

wdym

white heath Oct 30, 2025, 5:19 AM

#

don’t factor in equity

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:20 AM

#

bro bay public transit is ass

#

ur commute's gonna be over an hour

#

just lease a car tbh

#

it's not that much

#

lease a car for like 300/mo

#

why zon lol

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:21 AM

#

white heath don’t factor in equity

nah that's just stupid

#

definitely factor in equity

white heath Oct 30, 2025, 5:21 AM

#

brother

#

u cannot take bart

#

from fremont to the db office

#

it’s impossible without car

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:21 AM

#

there's been tender offers consistently 1-2 times/yr

#

also db val is already higher in private markets

#

this guy's stock is alr worth more

#

so TC is prob like 300k

#

db hiring a lot is a fair knock

#

but how tf do u compare that to zon lmao

#

zon is hiring an order of magnitude more

#

bro

#

do not go to tempe

white heath Oct 30, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

now is the time to grow ur career

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

white heath now is the time to grow ur career

^

#

tempe is career suicide

white heath Oct 30, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

not work at zon and throw away an opp at db

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

better to settle in the bay

#

or nyc/seattle

#

if OP values family that much then fair

#

but 99% of ppl dont think that way

#

idts

#

bro it's good to branch out too

#

idt it's a good idea to stay where u grew up ur entire life

#

esp since u went to school in arizona too

#

just try out db in mtn view

white heath Oct 30, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

remote is career suicide for a new grad

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

can move companies if u need to

white heath Oct 30, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

u want to be in office and make connections

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

Yeah I agree, feel like you need some perspective outside of living in the same place forever

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

where nyc?

#

lmao

#

i think any of seattle/bay/nyc is good

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 5:26 AM

#

Starbucks ceo commuting from socal to seattle lmao

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:26 AM

#

every tech company has an office in all 3 these days

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 5:27 AM

#

silent oyster tempe is career suicide

Aren’t there some big companies in the Phoenix area though even besides zon

#

Kept seeing it was being pushed as the new Silicon Valley

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:28 AM

#

glacial leaf Aren’t there some big companies in the Phoenix area though even besides zon

possible but the offices will be way smaller

#

so far less hc

#

lmao

white heath db is paying 270

god knows when they are going to ipo if even

analog coyote Oct 30, 2025, 5:34 AM

#

life is too short to be picking DB over zon because of $$/prestige, that shit becomes irrelevant af compared to connections and loved ones

cobalt spear Oct 30, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

that was a response to the db paying more than amazon point

#

but ofc

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:47 AM

#

cobalt spear god knows when they are going to ipo if even

it's when not if

#

the ceo literally said they want to

#

they'll wait for a good val/good market conditions

#

they just raised at $100B and there's tons of demand

#

when they IPO it'll be like $250B at least probably

silent oyster Oct 30, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

analog coyote life is too short to be picking DB over zon because of $$/prestige, that shit be...

so everyone should work in their home towns?

#

if u wanna kill ur career sure

#

depends on ur priorities

#

99% of ppl dont think that way

#

also nobody here is factoring in zon layoffs lmao

#

they still have to layoff 16k more

#

imo you'd be dumb to go zon now of all times

still pumice Oct 30, 2025, 6:48 AM

#

hot topic of debate here

#

kind of confused why the consensus isnt amazon yet

glacial leaf Oct 30, 2025, 7:23 AM

#

Ok this is bait right

#

like I know zon is faang but faang isn’t always the best 💀

majority of their valuation is based on AI, and if AI falls, which is looking like it will

#

DB will fall and they will layoff

go pltr
