170k base, 400k sign-on over 2 years(50,50), 300 rsu over 4 years (5,15,40,40) Is it average or above average range for the level in Bay area? Thnx.
Above top of range ... almost PE comp.
Great offer, congrats. I'm also receiving emails from amazon recruiters for Sr applied scientist. I'm also ml phd. Would you mind sharing how the interview process was? Also what are good teams in bay area for an applied scientist?
Interview was mix of three domains: machine learning, coding, leadership principles. For machine learning more focus on deep learning concepts and applications, for coding dynamic programming, for leadership principles the stories from your previous work experience where you exercised those principles.
Mind sharing which business unit is this? AWS, Alexa, A9, Lab126?
Alexa!
Any of these 4 have a reputation of being better than the others in terms of TC, wlb, or team culture?
pretty good for senior eng, maybe a bit low for 10 YoE in the bay
OP, you didn't count phd years in yoe, right?
I don't but I had few years experience before the PhD so I count that as well.
400k sign on? Really? No typo? Unheard of
normal for Amazon. they give large signing bonuses (split over 2 years) to try to make up for the shitty vesting schedule 5/15/40/40
Does Amazon have refreshers? Is this sign-on for making up that as well?
These sign on bonuses from AMZN are crazy
