ML/AI Comp

I saw an Amazon L5 salary in levels.fyi as $480K in New York. Is ML/AI that hot and pay double as much?

Lol yeah. I know that. But it just triggered the thought that is the ML thing that hot. Not sure if it's a research role or an implementation engineer

ML is hot, but not that hot.. Amazon will not pay 500k for sde2, even sde3.

Yea that salary seems misreported significantly

It's not that high. I bet it is around +20-30% of SWE, though.

Bullshit. Maybe someone reported total RSU as yearly.

Maybe they got in early and stock appreciated a bunch

This is exactly what happens to everyone after a few years past hire. 6yoe @amazon
