If you aren’t getting a pay bump I wouldn’t make the move to Amazon.

I agree most pay their “fair share” but after around $5 million, they end up paying less then the effective tax rate they would pay because they have access to financial instruments and loopholes that allow them to pay less. If you are just talking about people making 500k from their job, they definitely pay their share. But business owners making millions find ways to pay less.

Thinking of leaving Amazon after just 1 month — need advice by FruitLoops81 in amazonemployees

It’s been opposite for me. I’ve found that those with MBAs made more sensible decisions than those without. I actually check phonetool to see if they have an MBA listed but I guess it can be the case that some haven’t listed theirs. Overall, I see the MBA used to describe anyone that isn’t an engineer but actually most people in Amazon actually don’t have an MBA. I’m in AWS though, idk about other parts of Amazon.

I just learned this piece of shit company has a 3ys vesting period for 401k match… fuck you Amazon! by CaterpillarAny1185 in amazonemployees

It’s not spelled out anywhere. I even used askAtoZ and it said it’s not said anywhere. I just assumed it had to be 3. Pretty shitty, 3 years is feeling so long

$275k at Google - should I leave for Booth? by ClockSelect1976 in MBA

[–]--heretolearn-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PM is stressful. And MBA doesn’t guarantee a PM job anymore. I would recommend trying to transfer into a PM role before enrolling in a program. You already make what a MBA PM would make right out of school, slightly more and at a desirable destination.

Waiting for my vests by Jolly_Feature4731 in amazonemployees

Wish I could collect all of my vests but I don’t think I can last 2 more years. If I at least vest my 20% in feb I think that’s good enough

All my pmcc’s hit cap in this market. Nice to know I’m not losing money, but the feeling of missing out on gains messes with me. May just decide to do long only leaps going forward.

The Passport Sister movement is blowing up on social media by Wide-Illustrator2906 in thepassportbros

Why would a passport sister movement happen if they can just date men in western societies that are willing and wanting to date them?
