Sr. Principal -> No clue. General rsu vest 5/15/40/40 First 2 ytears bonus offered. You might find people's tc.beyond this , but that is due to stock value appreciation and they are already par their target.comp. Base soft cap - 165k Your welcome.

amazon doesnt give annual bonus right ? so u divided the joining bonus across 4 years too ?

By bonus I mean sign on bonus. Amazon does not have year end bonus. Also to add, hikes are in terms of base increase ( marginal untill promoted)and rsu refresher. And rsu refresher generally kick in atleast an year later.

Starting bonus is over two years so stock grants kick in. There is not cash bonus after year 2.
