What's the total compensation range for Level 5 Quality Assurance Engineer ? I know it starts at 100k at the lower end. Was wondering whether asking for 200k is in the realm of possibility or fantasy. What's a realistic target to shoot for during negotiation for this level? Glassdoor appears no good to discover this.
Location? I get around 180k(total comp) with 150k base in seattle
Were you recruited at L5 or did you get promoted within? If you got promoted within Amazon, was this offered to you soon after you got promoted?
YOE please ?? And where were you prior to Amazon.
How much experience do you have? I think if you want to be close to $200k (which I believe is at the top of the range), you need to be on the verge of promotion to L6 QAE (unless you have a lot of old stocks vesting because you’ve been here a few years). $150k is probably a more realistic target comp if you’re somewhere in the middle.
Look at paysa.com
Not a good source. Paysa always overinflates numbers. It said that an L5 SDE with 4 years experience should be making 375k in Seattle. I have tried all roles I knew comp of in Sea and SFO, and it's always highly inflated.
