Does anyone have any insight on Principal Engineering roles for Amazon and what salary ranges that includes? A friend is going onsite and is considering relocating there. This is for Project Kuiper. Thanks in advance.

Yearly Total Comp then, Base + bonus + RSU. What's so funny about that?

It is extremely unlikely your friend will be offered a principal role as an external hire. Probably come in as a Senior.

+1 on above. It’s is very common at Amazon to interview at Lx and be offered Lx - 1. Esp at principle level. Almost unheard of

I've seen a handful of people externally hired as PE in the team I've worked on in the past. Especially secret projects teams. Expect TC from 450K to 600K
