Cerner pays 68K for SWE? WTF?!

I got the return offer from Amazon with 140k+, and an offer from a startup with 135k+ and an offer from Microsoft with 170k+. Last week, I was offer 68k at Cerner. After negotiating, they bumped up to 70k and 2k signing bonus. I was told it’s an exceptional offer. WTF?! What’s wrong with these people?

who the heck is Cerner?

Just looked them up. They are in Kansas. $70k in Kansas = $140k in Seattle. Median home price is Kansas = $150k. Median home price is Seattle = $800k. Actually Cerner offer might be better ;)

Your return offer is 140+ at amzn? Break down please. Did u include signing bonus? Same goes for msft. Wtf???

Amazon MegaM OP Oct 23, 2018

Include signing. Can’t remember for AMZN. For MSFT, 110k+ base, 30k signing and 120k stock for 3’5 year. Do the math. If I can hit 10% bonus, I can get 180k at MSFT

Well the max you can go on a software engineer position is 72k that's why it was an exceptional offer.
