Amazon L6 Cupertino / salary expectations

Hey everyone, Just received a call from amazon-aws that they’re making me an L6 offer. Recruiter asked me for salary expectations (sde with 13 yoe). What’s a good annual comp range to ask (bay area)?

L5’s get 300k man.. it’s too low for external L6 hire + AWS ( no one admits, but pay is higher in AWS on average )

Accept anything around 380k, they’ll go max till 400k AFAIK. Beyond that will require VP approval

Dream on

What? You’d be nuts to join anything below 380k at L6 in Bay Area.

As a new hire you should get anywhere in the upper half of the band, so 345-380k

Bay Area range is higher, you are talking about the range in Seattle. But yeah 380k is a great number for external hire

What would the Bay Area range look like for an L6 and L7 on SDM

Amazon Yolo! Mar 21, 2019

400-430k for L6 SDM top of range
