I had a successful final onsite interview with Amazon and the recruiter called me with an TC offer that was below what I am currently making. She said the base salary for every one at AWS is at $160K plus bonus and RSU for all position all the way to Andy's position. Is that true?
Following
Yeah we are paid in signing bonuses and RSU
Yeah this is true. It causes issues for people when they try to buy a house because banks don’t like the idea of most of your income not being cash.
almost every bank in Seattle is aware of this and accept stock statements.
Having done mortgage origination for some of biggest banks in US, They care about TC. Heck they count dividends, child support, any other dependable income as well.
Actually Andy makes slightly more base, but he’s CEO. But for everybody else in Seattle, the max base salary is 160.
