Amazon bie salary expectation
Recruiter is asking for salary expectation before onsite.. Including base, rsu and bonus? I'm not sure what level I'm interviewing for. Is it appropriate to ask? What should be Tc expectation for L4/L5.
Yes I found it strange when they are asking. Especially being so specific as to include stocks and bonus
After my flight and on-site was scheduled, I had my scheduled prep call with the recruiter. I was told what the offer would be and was asked if I wanted to move forward. I was really caught off guard. I said yes even though the numbers were lower than I was expecting. I interviewed and got the formal offer, which was the same as we discussed on the phone. I was told it was basically the final offer as it was the high end of the band. I declined.
Damn. That sucks.. They did say they'll have a call before the interview.. But I was hoping the offer would change based on interview performance
I am basically in the same boat as you. I am interviewing for L4 SDE Seattle location. Before scheduling the onsite, recruiter asked me expected TC in email questionaire to which I responded 130-145K. I might have low balled myself. What did you do and how should I proceed as likely I am going to have the same prep call. Thanks in advance.
I had given expectations as 155-163 for L5 BIE.. However, I didn't give her an answer till the day after offer was made. They didn't give me numbers till I gave numbers first, but I felt I was Lowballed a lot. So I believe it depends on you how you handle it.. I refused to give her numbers during prep call, and basically said I haven't done my research well since equity based compensation is new to me, and told her I'd get back to her once I had better data
They should disclose the range to you!
