A recruiter reached out to me for a job at Amazon. They are asking what my salary expectations are. What should I say? I currently make 90k + OT + 10% bonus + a yearly personal day payout. TC ~$110k/yr. SFA 2 YOE post grad
Don't let your current TC determine what you should ask for. Determine market value of the position, and ask above that. You need to specify the job of you want people to help you determine asking TC.
What level is this?
Not sure. They just told me I'm not qualified for a senior role tho.
What are the qualifications for the senior role?
OP, I'm Interviewing for a position at Verizon. Can I PM you for some insight?
Sure!
Ask for 165k base/200k total.
I’m like you, a SFA at 2 YOE and am getting downleveled or kept at same TC when speaking to recruiters. But I know that even though Amazon often downlevels they match/beat offers if you have other ones. I think 135-150 TC is something you can go for and treat it as investment to join Amazon.
AVOID Amazon finance. A lot of jerks in leadership ranks, and the tools are generally awful.
Yes tools are awful but it can be a way to get into Amazon and then switch to the business.
Same position here, have 3 YOE and CPA. They won't give me Senior even though I lead finance for my business line at my current role. Seem to be pretty stuck on YOE rather than looking at what the person has accomplished. And it's hard to get this through to the recruiters. Does anyone has any insight on what roles and responsibilities look like for an L5 FA vs. an L6 SFA? Any information would be appreciated. I have an offer from another tech company that went on hold(budget freeze) due to covid. It was for 120k while the Amz recruiter was putting me at 100k. Bummer since I would love to join Amazon and have been trying for the last few years.
OP, what did you end up going with? I had two interviews with Amazon for Snr FA the past two weeks but got told today that I am being downgraded to FA with a total comp of $105k. My current TC (which is also my base) is 60K but I live in Michigan, so I don't know if $105K (I am guessing base will be around $80K) is really an increase considering the significant difference in COL between Seattle and Michigan.
$105k in Seattle is enough for a comfortable life and more importantly you’re making an investment in your career. Get yourself some equity and in 3-4 years with a rising stock price, chances are it will be more than anything you’d ever make in Michigan
Thanks! I agree, it's an investment in my career
