Amazon vs Doordash: Software Engineer Offers & Deciding: Comparing the Offers & Making a Decision

A friend received offers with similar comp from Doordash and Amazon and asked for advice on how to decide. I have plenty: and share how I evaluated offers when I was early in my career, and how I do it now.

Bonus: my take on Amazon's "PIP culture", quotas and which company I would choose, and why.
