Hello Folks Today my wife received a verbal offer for amazon L5. For SF location. Recruiter said the TC would be around 320k. Yet to receive the TC break down. Is there any scope for improving it. Looking to hit at least 350k. Is it doable. She is a contractor at Apple now.current TC 110k.#amazon #google #compensation #tc
Dude be happy with $320k and benefits...
Thanks for your comment. We are happy 😃 just want to get feedback if there are any scope? Also she is interviewing at few groups in apple itself.not sure if apple can pay higher than this.little dicey to accept amazon ..at this time
I don’t think it’s dicey given your wife makes 1/3 today
Been there ..it is usually first year 320k and then slowly dilutes ..look at the average tc across 4 years at the current stock price..that could be a little lower.
I don't think that's the case. Look at their stock price (Amazon) she'll definitely have more than. 320 next year.
One always should look at the tc at today’s stock price..you can never bet on your tc hoping for the stock price to grow (unless you are a pre ipo startup )
Did your wife get offer for Swe role? What role is she currently in at Apple ?
No bonuses, maybe a small salary adjustment if not at the low maximum. Read up here about the 4yr cliff, thats what to worry about. Don't expect refreshers until yr3 and then only to adjust yr5 to bottom of band unless promoted by yr3.
That’s why most end up leaving, comp continues to decrease little by little then on top of that you get burnt out
Yup. I only plan to work full time for 8 more years so maybe one more jump and done if my promotion doesn't at least keep me flat with some stock appreciation. My wife wants to see two promotions she says :). But I don't want an L8's headaches...
What’s the final offer?
Do you mind sharing the breakdown? Base + sign on
I think 320 is pretty good near top of the band. Even according to levels.fyi it is the second highest salary in the Bay.
Thanks for your comment.
Wow! Blinders saying that a compensation package is good ... Might take a screenshot !
