Looking for greener pastures and work that would keep me energized. SDE 3. 14 yoe, 6 of them at Amazon. In 2018 solved just a few LCs and failed F, U, G. Got offers from Msft and Oracle. Decided to stick with Amzn for a while. TC ~320k. 160k base, the rest are RSUs. Hitting the next compensation cliff in 2021.
My friend also L6 at Amazon got 400k in non fang tier no idea company in Seattle as senior sde (comparable to L6). He didn’t know what to do and accepted it, since it was 30-40% more than his TC.
If I join SDE 3 in Amazon now, how much can I expect?
For 5, expect 300-450k TC, 400+ is usually for people with strong competing offers or downleveled 6 though
The standard starting offer for E5 is 170k + 400k RSU. With bonus is close to 300. They can go higher. I'm know of a 180+600 offer, and some people have mentioned higher ones as well (190+800), but i cant confirm those.
What is the upper limit for base in FB?
I'm not sure what limit is. I have heard of 200k base for E5 offer, though in not sure if that's true. It's much easier to push for a higher RSU grant than a higher base during negotiations, so focus on RSU during negotiations.
430ish this year.
Sounds like it could be a decent bump from my current TC, definitely worth trying and investing time in preparation. I heard bananas at FB are better than at Amazon, turns out it is true.
I started at about 380, this is after some stock appreciation and several good reviews.
How much LC you had done prior to 2018 lc to get into amzn?
0. Didn't spend time on preparation at all.

Can you try cliff explanation in amazon?
Cliff is when your TC drops from 320k to 200k.
