Is there an AWS office in Atlanta or just remote?

What was your offer and your YOE

Xilinx leethard Sep 19, 2020

Isn't it too low for 18 yoe?

Deloitte KCov37 OP Sep 19, 2020

That's what I was thinking and wanted to validate here with the community

Amazon doesn’t pay much to SA and TAM roles.

Is this RSU in units or in $ amount?

Deloitte KCov37 OP Sep 19, 2020

RSU is in unit, total 40 RSUs

Xilinx leethard Sep 19, 2020

Ask for 20-30 more RSU?

Google *Google* Sep 19, 2020

Try asking for more RSUs

Way too low. I had more than that on L5 (SA)

Deloitte KCov37 OP Sep 19, 2020

Thanks, what was your location and TC

Amazon 🍌nutmufnz Sep 19, 2020

Not way too low. Min is 160k TC 210k is towards the top of the range. There is still a bit more room for growth but a good offer.

Xilinx leethard Sep 19, 2020

Can someone tell me if I need to know SW to be a SA or a TAM?

Amazon oDja13 Sep 19, 2020

It's more important that you know AWS really well. Knowing basic scripting helps too. If you know how to code it'll be helpful too.

Xilinx leethard Sep 19, 2020

Okay. AWS only for amazon or in general? I don't know where to start but it sounds more fun than leetcode

Microsoft king1234 Sep 19, 2020

It’s too low

Amazon oDja13 Sep 19, 2020

That's near the maximum for the base. You could probably get more RSUs if you ask

What the maximum base ?
