What is the TC salary for an L5 Security Engineer at Amazon or AWS? Either pentest or AppSec. If you had to guess, how much would it be? If you know some range of number please comment
Quite a bit of folks don't know this, but Security Engineer is one of the highest paid job family at Amazon, along with Applied Scientist. I believe L5 is around 300k-430k. This is for Seattle, NYC/SF bands are +10% higher
Thanks for this info. Do you know how much an L6 security engineer or security engineer manager makes
L6 will be in the 400s to low 600s
what an AppSec Engineer with CISSP with 10+ yrs SW experience can get?
CISSP has no value in amazon. You gotta raise the BARRRR
Citibank what is bar raiser? Like OSEE /OSPC stuff?
March offer of 385k L5 SecEng
Thanks. Do u think they will lower it now because of recession and "frugality" - especially for promotions ?
I’m unsure about promotions I believe you may still have better luck with that vs aiming for high salary as external new hire. But overall I don’t think anyone SecEng are complaining lol mostly happy after this round of layoffs … I don’t think anyone pays more. It’s true what you hear competitive level is on game of thrones and I’m somewhat older so my days of that is over. You can work hard and still have a life at Amazon, pip life is NOT what Blind makes it out to b. Maybe just found good team n manager but even people I saw get pipd there is a VERY VERY long process and it’s NOT something that can happen over night or abruptly
Can you tell me reasons that would get a security engineer getting piped? I thought it was only devs
I negotiated to 450k, not even an option on this poll lol
Oh wow. That is incredible. Were you promoted to that position? Also what do u do as a SE? (I know there are over 1k+)
Update
One would hope for the $350k+ TC go L5 SE. Started Q4 2022 as an L4 and landed at $260k TC.
Just saw a picture of an offer letter going for 390k for L5 AppSec. That is why I asked
With or without stock
With. Sign on 90k for first 2 then about same amount stock
