Joined Amazon as L5. Got P5 offer from Atlassian
I just joined Amazon as an L5 engineer. The pay was very good considering COL . I am in Chicago and the TC is ~375k. Good thing is it is cash heavy first two years. I was very apprehensive about joining Amazon given the notorious WLB and PIP culture.
Now i recently got verbal confirmation that i will be getting a P5 offer from Atlassian . I'm pushing them to match my Amazon TC. I'm guessing it will be lower by 30-40k. The benefits and WLB are great though.
The question is if i should burn the bridge at Amazon and quit within first month or stick it out with Amazon.

If you already have some well known companies on your resume, I'd suggest leaving Amazon for Atlassian.
You might end up in a team with good WLB in Amazon, but Amazon culture is just bad, I have seen too many toxic people there.
Amazon culture incentivize self-centered, selfish, back-stabbing behavior
