On the right org, it can be great
- Good compensation for Canadian standards.
- Good benefits, lots of vacations, and PTOs.
- Really good to work at my org in AWS. People are nice, inclusive, and value employees' mental health and well-being.
- Lots of learning and improving opportunities.
- Good infrastructure for work: "unlimited AWS services".
The growth from SDE II and beyond is extremely hard and will depend a lot on your personality, skills, networking, and a lot of extra effort.
The better the org in terms of work/life balance, the fewer are the opportunities for projects that can give you a promotion.
Annual compensation review is very limited and puts a really wide range of professional levels in the same compensation bucket.
