Does Alexa have a different band in Palo Alto. My friend who interned there and got a return offer was offered 250k returning new grad offer, he was a masters from CMU. He had 0yoe.
250k for L4 in Bay Area? Or does your friend have experience and is going for L5? What’s his YoE?
0 yoe.
Seems legit for L5 applied scientist. A master's from CMU might have a few years of experience. I know some master's programs prefer candidates with experience.
Is your friend an Applied Scientist? Because what you are saying is not the bar for L4 SDE. It is for L4 AS. L5 SDE top of the band is about 290k with 185k base cap. Unless your friend made it to L5 SDE with 0 YoE. In which case, dear God! Amazon throwing L5s to folks with 0 YoE is strange. L4 SDE top of the band in Bay Area is about 220k.
Oh yeah he got an offer for AS
Whats are the bands for AS?
L4 AS usually requires a PhD so comp is right for that level. Bay Area is a premium market so offers there will be higher than Seattle for the same job code.
