How much can one except for a firmware development engineer position at AWS in Cupertino office? 4 years work experience
They offered me sde1 as well which was weird to me!
They are starting to low-ball people left and right with L4 now, especially if you are not doing the exact same thing you will be hired to do. Say you are doing wireless and they want someone to do storage, they will down level you. The good paying days and over expansion days are gone. Some teams got hiring freeze, the stock went up so much in the last two to three years a lot of the normal attrition didn't happen, so they try to cut cost by hiring freeze and down level without layoff. Since you are from Qualcomm, I recommend you go to either Apple or Huawei instead, for wireless they pay a lot better and you are treated better there.

You will most likely get a SDE ii L5 on the low side, around 130 base 160 TC. However I have seen someone got low balled to SDE1 L4, no increase from their current compensation and he / she end up not accepting. If the org is management heavy in Seattle they tend to not pay well in the bay area, and expect politics biased toward Seattle people. I have seen someone quit and left for FB after only 6 months, despite a longer commute.
