Position: senior AWS solutions architect (Bay area) @ Amazon - 11YOE Recruiter is asking to provide a range before moving forward. is 250K TC/year a fair ballpark number? Breakdown 180 K Base + 200K RSU + sign-on bonus
Is this for L5? If you're expecting 250 then tell them you're expecting 270-280, but be ready to answer how you came up with that number i.e. current salary + X% raise, or competing offers in similar range etc
“Asked in Blind” is an acceptable rationale
Ask them to give you a range
Is it possible for the range to be lowballed? Aka are they obligated to give the real range?
