I ran this graph dated back to the last time I was looking for a job, just to compare how well each company has done since then. I never would have predicted this.

Great example of recency bias in investing/trading.
Take the same chart and move the slide bar to the left and see how equity performance changes. So you perception of performance will change depending on the timeframe/dataset you're viewing.

I actually chose this particular time frame since it when I as last changing jobs and trying to decide between a BigCo and a startup. I didn't choose a BigCo, but even if I had it probably wouldn't have been amazon.
Hoever, I wouldn't use share price as a major determinant of company choice.
Agreed. Was just thinking most about different possible outcomes and what they would have worked out like.
