I have been at Amazon as a software engineer for about a year, but the past year has somehow dumped me deep in anxiety and depression despite my team supposedly has better wlb than average. I am considering taking a leave to take a break from all the stress I have accumulated.

Recently I have been told by several people in my circle that I should consider applying for other teams or companies that are more relaxing so that I can chill a little more to recover from the mental and physical effects of work. And I have finally decided that I would give it a go.

I am looking for some recommendations of companies and teams I can join. Currently I am thinking of trying Google, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, Meta, Airbnb. Though more choices are appreciated.

The proportion of my priorities is 45% wlb, ,30% tc (preferably above 150k), 25% team.

YOE: 2

TC: 180k
