Got an offer yesterday and after some negotiating am accepting a marketing role with AWS. Base: 139.9k 1st yr bonus: 34k 2nd yr bonus: 26k RSU: 690 units (not 690k lol) TC for 1st year est: $180k YOE: 8 Current TC: $55k š¤® Location: Austin #marketing #amazon #aws
What an incredible jump! Wel done
Great jump in TC! How does this add up to 199.9k year one TC?
That's a great question. š I was trying to figure out so many different things this morning since I'm new to compensation packages like this. Post has been edited with correct info
that's pretty solid for L5. Take it
How did you go about negotiating? Your comp looks good!
I initially asked for a TC that was over the max for an L5, so the recruiter was basically like "that's too high... but I'll see what I can do!" The only negotiating I did was that I asked for more of a first year bonus and less RSUs. Ended up getting 10k added to my bonuses (split between both years to not go over the max yearly) and RSUs stayed the same!
Good to know that there was flexibility there! Waiting to hear back after my final loop for a marketing-related role as well. Smart move on your end asking for less RSUs and more added to the bonus.
Thatās so exciting! I would love to work (remotely) for Amazon. Any advice on an āinā?
I would just say to put a lot of effort into your resume! Beef it up with certifications, data points for certain projects you worked on, etc. And prep like hell once you get to the interview process
Data in ur resume is key^
Congrats on the come up!!! Thatās 690k RSUs over 2 or 4 years?
Over 4 years is standard, however majority like +85% (if not I forget) are allotted over the last 2 years. IMO this is low offer for L5 AWS marketing but great jump! Go kill it and get top tier which will be given to you far in the future lol
I have a colleague that got an offer from Amazon with a vesting schedule of 2 years so I was trying to see if that was the new norm
Good for you!
Amazing comp! Congratulations!
This is good for L5. I have essentially the same offer for a L5 non-tech role in ads
What recommendations do you have for landing a job in Ads at Amazon? Currently at an eCom company that I run Amazon ads for across $4M ad budget yearly. Really looking to find opportunities to beef up my TC TC: $78K YOE: 2

Whatās the job field?
Can't get too much more detailed since it's not a super common role - but it's social media marketing focused
