Important to clarify that this is for base salary, not total comp

Amazon wirb 8_wof Nov 7, 2017

Hwi2n is right.

What about total comp

Amazon ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Nov 7, 2017

Base + signing bonus (usually first two years) + RSUs = TC. The RSUs have a nonlinear vesting schedule over four years, but the signing bonus is used to smooth it out.

Do performance based rsu grants have the same non linear vesting schedule? Or is it even?

Amazon SHA256 Nov 7, 2017

Usually.. when the stocks r doing so well, you don’t get much base increase during promo. Or so I heard

Amazon WhyNoRSUs? Nov 7, 2017

Absolutely correct.

What is a typical tc range for each level?

Well the data there lags behind quite a bit. For amazon, it says 218k for senior swe which seems much lower than market. Is this representative of Amazon comp?

Current New grads offer is 145 TC Sde 2 TC ranges from 170-230 Sde 3 TC ranges from 250-350 Principal TC ranges from 400-600 There's 2 more levels after that (senior principal and distinguished) but I haven't heard much data on those (I did see one vp (same level as distinguished) claim 4 million one year which I can actually see with our insane stock growth).
