Experience: 5 YOE
Current CTC: 44 LPA Mag 7
Goal: Better long-term growth, compensation, and strong company brand (open to MAANG switch)
Offers I have:
Offer Summary
| Company | Role | Base (LPA) | Bonus | Stock / RSU | Total CTC (Approx) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | SDE2 | 44 | 20L (Y1) + 15L (Y2) | 200 RSUs (5% / 15% / 40% / 40%) | 65–67 LPA initially | Strong brand, long-term RSU upside |
| Salesforce | SMTS | 44 | ~6.6 LPA | ~$74K RSU (~15.5 LPA annualized) | ~66 LPA | Stable, balanced comp |
| Teradata | Senior AI Engineer | 45 | 5 LPA | ~$30K RSU (~9.6 LPA annualized) | ~59–60 LPA | AI-focused role |
| Blink RX | Senior SWE | 65 | — | ~15 LPA stock per year | ~80 LPA | Highest comp, lower brand |
- Also personally I tried a lot last year (2025) and nothing worked out for me , i tried to crack a senior roles but vein .
My dilemma:
Blink RX offers the highest immediate compensation
Amazon offers strong brand value and potential long-term upside, but RSU value in my case is relatively modest
Salesforce looks stable and balanced
Teradata is AI-focused but lower overall compensation
Questions:
Which offer makes most sense at 5 YOE level?
How should I weigh Amazon brand vs higher cash compensation at Blink RX?
Is it worth taking lower short-term compensation for MAANG exit opportunities?
Any insights on long-term growth, switching, or internal mobility?
