A 32-year-old software engineer went through a 'super stressful' interview process at Amazon — but turned down the $167,006 offer

Nastya Kholodova is a software engineer from the Ukraine who thought working for a big US tech company was the best way to know that she'd actually "made it" as a developer.

Kholodova ended up rejecting Amazon's offer because a small startup promised to help her get permanent residency, an offer too good to pass on. But she wasn't sure she'd be competitive. So on a holiday afternoon when she and her husband were stuck at home, she started applying. To her surprise, Kholodova heard back right away, and began what she called a "super stressful" interview process that ultimately led to an attractive offer — and then, an even bigger decision.

One of her goals was to find a way to come to the United States, so both she and her husband, who was also a software developer, landed jobs together at the World Bank, which meant they could qualify for lesser-known G4 visas, which are for foreign employees of nonprofit international organizations in the U.S.

Her experience working on websites with high user loads would be attractive to Amazon, she reasoned, and she had some friends and colleagues who worked at the company's facility in Herndon, Virginia, about a 40-minute reverse commute from where she and her husband lived in D.C.

Other things were more important because her other job offers would pay a similar amount. My opinion on the headline without reading the article

120 base, 30 rsu and 17 bonus.

Bloody paywall😭

Isn't Amazon supposed to be the Dream Place...?

Lol. 167k at 32 isn't really a dream job now is it... 167,006 to be exact

i would never be someone’s bitch. Even if I accepted the job, it would be to fund my business idea and then also to invest. Be your own boss, respect

167k ain't shit

Paywall.

to be honest the interview processes are draining lol. mental strength must be on 100

then why did she apply in the first place?!

Shameful click bait

even if i got that PER MONTH - would not be worth half of my Q4 portfolio. not worth the stress.

That’s actually not a big salary for a 32 year old software engineer in Seattle or Silicon Valley. That’s hardly enough to get by at that cost of living. The most sought after engineers are recruited (and paid) like pro athletes
