Amazon or Start-up

My take is that the experience will be more valuable at the startup, although that isn't guaranteed. More important, to me, is the pay differential. If you can make double at Amazon, and theoretically save almost all of that, you can save money to fund your future startup 5x-10x faster. AND having Amazon on a resume is going to help you out to, if you apply for another job in the future.

If money is no issue, stick with the startup for the experience. But there's a strong possibility that doubling your income would go further toward helping you start your own business.
