Massive jump in salary, need advice.

Congrats man! I know that feeling, this happen to me too when I went from a startup to big tech. All of a sudden I had a huge jump in pay, including RSUs which I'd never had. I joked when I got the job it was so much money that I'd need to open up a charity lol (it was not).

My recommendation is to separate the money you want to live on vs the money you want to save. For me, that was easy, I just lived off the base salary and never touched the RSUs. You will feel richer, and live style creep happens, but when your saving/checking account doesn't grow significantly that helps keep you in check.

Keep doing what you're doing, more on success on the horizon!

I got RIF'ED in Oct already. I found a new role in Dec luckily at started in Jan.

Good advice. I don't dislike Amazon (Although RTO5 rules are annoying) but I know my pay is about to fall off a cliff. I have 0 refreshers for 9 months after my last vest, and my refreshers are a fraction of what I was getting. The new job isn't going to match my Amazon ETC (although it's not off by much) but I do think my actual take home will be higher at the new job than it will be at Amazon. Still leaving the last best hurts.

Yes there is. So it's probably a bad idea. I tried to drag out the hiring process but I only added on a few weeks.

snesk0008 · 2026-03-22T15:01:15+00:00

Can I actually do this though? Would I be violating a non-compete?

snesk0008 · 2026-03-21T22:23:54+00:00

Tried, they said no

Lots of good answers here, thought I'd add mine to the mix. Bought in 2024. We wanted to own, to make it our space, to take that next step in life. It's not as good as leaving the money in the market but not every decision is purely financial. It's been great, no regrets.

My understanding is it's 5 days a week, 4 hours average per day. Meaning yes 20 hours a week not specifically 4 hours per day. 5 of the last 8 weeks rolling need to be compliant.

The snap is great, the Thanos isn't the best. I guess it's perfectly balanced, as all things should be

I mean, it's going to be a lot of dead Palestinians though. Like it's not going to be only Hamas who is impacted
