Got a L5 offer from AWS in Seattle. Base - 155k RSU - 86 shares Bonus - 75k first year + 55k second year How good is this offer? Yoe 7 Current level 62 Current TC 190
Pretty solid L5 offer but it's close enough to your current compensation so that your decision can't primarily be money. Do you like the team? Do you think you'll grow faster in the team than at Microsoft? AWS looks great on a resume and it can be an amazing learning experience.
Good offer, probably required extra approvals/exceptions
This is standard now, no exceptions needed now, in past years it would have.
lol amazon pays so less for so much YOE🤣 don’t take it I wld say
Second yr tc is lower as compared to first year. Negotiate second year bonus
No, second year has higher stock vest than 1sr
What is the vesting structure
Pretty solid offer. Surprised to see such high base and signon!
I am L6. I am making way less than this. Go for it
How is your career growth at Microsoft? Since you’re already 62, it’s easier to get to 63 than start at L5, establish yourself and get to L6. Not to mention that for the next 4 years, Amazon’s TCT model ensures you end up earning the same amount every year. For such a small hike, I wouldn’t go to Amazon unless I have a bad career trajectory at Microsoft. I would ride it out till I get to L63 and then move to a team I’d like.
If this is the initial offer ask for 10% more at least. They'll give it.
This, try to negotiate more. This offer also depends on how close you are to 63. If you are close then stick around and get the promo before interviewing again.
Base looks solid, I feel you can ask more on RSUs and Sign on,
Current level and YOE?
7/62
Level 7 with 62 yoe?
