I have passed the HC for both google and amazon at this point and is about to negotiate TC. I am currently living in Seattle so Amazon is little more attractive but was wondering what TC makes sense for each opportunities. I have total of 8 YOE in SDE and 7 YOE in TPM adding to 15 years. I have 2 daughters and my wife also works in seattle making 90k and my current TC is 220K. What should I be getting at Amazon and what should google TC look like for me to consider moving to MV? Appreciate your feedback. Thanks
Google position is for MV not seattle
Seattle seems a good choice due to low cost
What should the TC look like then from Amazon?
That is high. More like 220-250k
I think for me 220k-250k wouldn't make sense considering I already am at 220k and soon to be going up. The risk of switching should give me at least 50k boost so 275k would be the minimum at least. But is that with in L6 in amazon? I agree that 300k+ would be more ideal...
The other comment is right, 280ish is kind of top of the band for Amazon, not sure about google but L6 TPM has significant impact at amazon
Also, keep in mind amazon does not have refreshers but google does ( i guess?) So at Amazon your salary would stay almost the same for 4 years
Amazon L6 TPM top of band (discounting stock inflation) is 280kish for Seattle, and only employees rated TTs would go near that.
Ok today I got an offer for 260k. With 160k base, 92k sign on, 108RSU over 4 years. Is this a lowball?
Google at Seattle
Google Seattle is seriously underrated.
