What's the ceiling for Amazon SDE1 for Lab 126? They told me I will only have 5 days to accept after they share numbers with me so I asked them to hold off until I finish a couple of more interviews. I have PhD + 3 yoe. I thought PhD's get SDE2, I guess it's because I didn't do great on system design. Current TC ~180 including bonus. How much higher can I go get with SDE1?
For bay area, 200k is cap for sde1. Confirmed this with recruiter and others.
Do they give a sign on bonus for sde1
Yes but it's included in this 200k limit. This limit is for TC, so sign on bonus/base/rsu all includes.
I don’t know if that cap is true I have a teammate who’s also L4 in the 175K range in Seattle

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
180 TC is the cap for Bay Area SDE1 160 for Seattle You can try for SDE2 for higher comp
Well that sucks. I think I'd have to wait for cool off and reinterview for SDE2. Recruiter says they can't change that.
Amazon has been doing this shitty downleveling as well
