Got a verbal offer from Amazon in Seattle of 210k TC. I had a competing offer of 240k so told them to match that. Recruiter said that they need VP approval to match that salary. Is this normal? Are such requests approved? YOE:5
240 is the highest possible new offer TC in the L5 SDE band
Is this sde2?
Yup
It won’t exceed $225K TC. That’s based on 15% yoy stock growth. So maybe 80 shares.
Ah. So likely, they are going to come back with 225k. And say that's the max they can go to?
Amazon comp is governmental in nature, there are paybands for each job and level in a region. Exceptions are rare if non-existent — a promotion would be necessary to get more.
$240k competing offer from where? Is that all that matters? I’d expect whatever they come back with would be their max. You’ll accept it or not.
