I was an hardware engineer for 8 years. Started to preparing switching industry about 1 years ago. Just interviewed with amazon, initially target for SDE2, they promote me to a senior engineer. How much I should expect? I told the recruiter 250k, looks like it is a very low end. considering my background, is 300k possible in bay area?

Well having counter offers help a LOT from personal experience. If not, talk to friends in the Bay area to get an idea of the compensation at that level. IMO SDE 3s make shit ton of money. SDE 2s make in the 250 range
