That's less than 160k in yr1. Pretty weak. I would ask for more sign-on, maybe base. Stocks don't come much into play until yr3
But then he would have gotten sde1, not sde2 level
Low for sde2 bay area. Sign on and stocks could be significantly improved
Super low SDE2 (L5) especially for the Bay Area. You should aim for at least $200k TC. Preferably $220k-$240k though. COL is the Bay Area is really high.
What does L5 mean? What are different levels?
How do you know it's L5? Sometimes college grads L4 offer even with lot of experience. Happens when their experience is not deemed equivalent to Amazon experience.
Seems L4 to me, especially for Bay Area
Definitely an L4
30k/2 and 45/4? Location?
Yes
