Amazon (sde2 Seattle) salary negotiations, strategies / advice.

Hi I was wondering if anyone can share salary negotiation strategies / real world stories? I have so far kept the basic strategy of ask high, expect them to go low. But how much back and forth is advisable? Should I keep pushing until they either give me the TC I'm looking for, or say "this is our final offer"? At what point am I being too pushy?

Amzn doesn’t negotiate a lot in my experience.

Not true. They don’t really negotiate for new grad packages but will negotiate for anything else.

Did you have competing offers?

@qpwoeirutd, How's your negotiation? Did you get the end that they told you that's their final offer?
