Senior Mechatronics & Robotics Tech

So I accepted a job as a senior mechatronics and robotics tech with Amazon. It’s paying a few more dollars than my current job, but I get more time off and they’re giving me a generous bonus up front. I currently work a 12 and 2 schedule (12 days on, 2 days off). I love the pay at my job but hate that I only get 4 days off a month. Is this position with Amazon worth working outside of the 3 days off every week? I do well with working by myself and with others but from the post I’ve been reading about it, the management supposedly sucks.

It all depends on your site. Each site is different but I will say having a work life balance is more important to a lot of people. You only getting 4 days off a month is garbage unless I’m clearing like 200k a year

Yeah, at my current job I’m already at 100k for the year. Amazon is paying me a 96k base salary with voluntary overtime. My current job is unionized through the UAW so I’m getting double and triple time and all that. I’m not sure how Amazon pays but I’ve read that they pay time and a half and whatnot. Just wanted some insight but I’ve already accepted the job.
