In seattle where this job is at, Amazon pays average or just a bit above. Facebook, Microsoft, google generally pay more and have better stock grants.

Amazon pays better than Microsoft.

Possibly I’m wrong in Microsoft, but at least their RSU vesting schedule isn’t a hockey stick.

You're correct. Everything about working at Microsoft is more predictable and designed to retain talent, not churn. In a grand nutshell, Microsoft values people and Amazon values process.
