AWS recruiter reached out asking about salary expectations. Glassdoor has an estimate of around €80k-90k base for SDE-2 which seems to be really low. Even booking dot com a tier-2 company is paying 94k base + RSUs + Performance bonus ~ 120k (had discussion with their HR) Location - Amsterdam YOE - 3 TC in India - 25 LPA
around 130k TC, check https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Netherlands/ and filter by Amazon, glassdoor is BS when it comes to such companies
Cause you don’t know stuff or dont read. Booking pays peanut stocks while amazon doesn’t. Go to booking if you are getting an offer.
Amazon vesting schedule sucks asss. 5%, 15%, 40%, 40%. I won’t stay for more than 2 years.
You will get joining bonus for the first two years to offset that low vest
