Originally applied for L5 but did not do that well in design interview Base 123k 55 RSU (which is around 100k now) 39k 1st year 30k second year sign on Seattle
123k base is very high for L4. RSUs and signing bonus are also good. Overall much above average for L4.
Looks good
Pretty solid offer for L4. Ideally you'd want to get promoted to SDE 2 in an year. Might fall into PIP if you don't get promoted? Amazonians can confirm. Few questions for you: 1. How hard was the design interview? 2. What was the area of focus - OO or System?
The design interview was a general system design question with focus on latency and scalability.
You are earning that much in Seattle. It's a pretty good offer. negotiate promotion cycle and make it happen sooner If you want to
YOE?
