I've recently been speaking with more AWS coworkers and peers outside AWS (either at Big Tech or late-stage startups) and I think I might be underpaid based on my YOE, skills, and market. I'm a woman and a top performer on my team ("exceeds expectations" in Forte and said by my manager so not an assumption) AWS Role: AWS Security Consultant with ProServe L5 YOE: 8 TCO: 190k (base is 148k, signon 25k, 48 RSUs) Market: Austin, TX Tenure at AWS: 2 years I had a friend who was hired for the AWS training team (non-tech, non-sales) and was offered 220k TCO (sign-on bonus - 90k and 72 RSUs). Am I underpaid? I'm up for L6 promotion - is it even worth saying at AWS since my manager said it would be a 8% raise. With that, I still won't catch up to what other companies are paying and I still would be behind my peers. #tech #salary #underpaid #amazon #aws #security #cloudsecurity #cybersecurity #totalcomp
Yes
Move to security SALES instead of Pro Serv or consulting. May have to switch companies.
Left AWS recently, specifically security proserve. AWS TCO: ~$220k New TCO: $332k You are underpaid and Im confident you will NOT be paid fairly by remaining at AWS.
Where did you go, if you don’t mind me asking? Currently staring at an offer from AWS ProServ, Security, remote… (offer is $185k-ish per year, FWIW). I’m thinking worst case scenario I work at AWS for a year or two then bounce for higher TC.
What should the comp look like? Just finished my interviews and need info on comp negotiation for Sr Security Consultant within ProServe?

'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
Seems low for your YOE. Join the #pay-equity slack channel. Tons of L5s have been posting their TC. See how yours stacks up.
Thank you! I didn't know that existed.
No problem! It’s fairly new (maybe 2-3 weeks). It’s gaining steam quickly though!
