Hi folks, Need some help evaluating AWS L5 offer in Seattle. Base 152.5k Sign-on 60/50 1st/2nd yr RSU: 80 RSUs /4 Relocation: 15000 YOE: 4 Current TC 130k in Florida - Small company One competing offer. Numbers not known. Verbal What can I negotiate on realistically ? I don't think its a lowball, just wanted to get the best out of it. Would appreciate some advice.
TC is around 220k. This is a pretty good offer for L5.
You will probably still earn around 130k in Florida after 5 years. Take this offer and your future is limitless.
220k is not very far from the top of the range for L5.
That’s a good offer
That seems like a really good offer. Very high TC for a L5. Nice work! I’d take it.
BS. It's not a very high TC for L5.
Maybe for an SDE, which is obviously new information. But in general, that is definitely high for an L5 (I’ve been at amazon for 6 years, and am a people manager, so I’ve seen lots of L5 salaries). It may not be high for actual/real TC (based off incredible stock appreciation), but it’s an offer, so this is in line with TCT (i.e. target).
What role is this?
130k tc in Florida is very good. While 152 looks higher factor in housing and living cost in your calculation. But amazon on your resume will definitely look good.
