Offer from Amazon NYC location: SDE 2 Base 165 Sign on:100k Stocks : 132k Is this good or can I negotiate more?
Are these numbers similar to what people are getting for sde2 at amazon in nyc?
Yeah looks to be slightly over max in terms of sde2 comp in Seattle. (this is including stock) 165k base max is pretty standard for certain L6 jobs
so given that you're an L5 and making that it's pretty good. We give slightly more to the Bay/NY given cost of living but not that much more than say Seattle
Are these stock grants per year or over four years? Because 132k/year to me sounds crazy high.
They fully vest in 4
That's pretty close to what my current comp target is (SDE2 in NYC) - about $5k/yr above to be exact. How much relevant experience do you have?
Amazon doesn't negotiate
Even with a competing offer?
You would have to be an absolutely sensational candidate with a rare/specific niche. Most of the time we don't even negotiate with execs
