YOE-9 Current TC - 200K Since AWS TC is a little peculiar in terms of RSU and how signing bonus is paid off. My recruiter asked for a number but I am not sure what to quote due to lack of data.
NYC/Boston/Seattle has similar ranges. Ask for 300k , atleast you will end up at 250k-275k TC. Better if you have a competing offer. If they can't give more , bargain for more RSU or Cash bonus instead of base.
Ask for total compensation at 300k
Thanks, silly question, total TC is not what I will get paid in first year right?
Also do you negotiate what percentage is Sign on bonus vs RSU, since they vest at different pace.
