That used to be the case but as of a couple years ago (maybe 2023?) pay packages got bumped and in terms of TC Amazon is very competitive now. You'll likely get a better offer than Google in cash value. But the non-TC benefits are really really bad (no free food, 5 day RTO, oncall policies, etc). For those reasons I think most would take a Meta or AI lab offer over Amazon right now if they're willing to grind.
