hows amazons L5 SDE salary in seattle ? what could be maximum
Official max is 242 for seattle. Above that you need vp approval. So 270 is very rare. Of course we are talkin about new hires.
Yea thanks .and this is including joining bonus right ? I have a MS offer for L63 . 175 base 200k stock(4yrs) , 0-30% bonus , 50k sign on . Do you think Amazon L5 can beat this ?
Nope. Take MS offer. Only reason to choose amazon over MS is 30% or higher comp. MS has better benefits and company culture. Dont get me wrong I work at Amazon now.
That’s a level 64 offer you got from Microsoft. You can try negotiating with amazon. However, don’t decide just based on tc. Make the decision based on the team and work you’re going to do. Both the companies have good/bad teams.
MS is graph team and Amazon it’s Customer experience team
Going to post offers I got from both MS and Amazon. Amazon offer Level L5 Base : 155K 1st year bonus 99k + 2nd year bonus 76k Stocks 125 over 4 years Level 63 Base: 178k Sign on : 35k cash over 2 years. Sign on stock : 240k over 4 years Note : Amazon, I interviewed at L6 but they decided that I should come in at L5 and then would consider me for L6. MS I got 63 offer and I heard 63 is equivalent of entry level L6 for Amazon. Also initial Amazon offer was bas 145 not 155. I negotiated higher and accepted.
270k I think. But not likely to get that high.
Ok got it . Thanks
