Recruiter asking for expected numbers. I am thinking to give below. What do you think? Would they accept for someone who has 10 YOE? Bay area Base: 190k Bonus: 55k per year (2 years total 110k) RSUs: 200 units. (5% first year, 15% 2nd, 40% 3rd rest 4th) That comes down 1st year TC: 267K
$500k in RSUS over 4 years is impossible, especially for a lvl 6. Try like $200k in RSU over 4 year.
Tc would be like $225-$275k max. Also would probably be like 100 RSUs not 200
Little high but it’s worth a try
There's a base cap of 185k in SF. The cash bonus also usually goes down the second year
What does base cap 185 means? They have to move me to L7 if I ask for 190?
No. At all levels there is a base cap. $185k for “premium” markets (like SF and NYC), $160k for all others (like Seattle, etc.).
Max salary at any level at Amazon is $160k in Seattle and $185k in SF. All other comp is bonus and/or RSUs
Are you sure base is 190k?
Assuming if stock is $2k in your 3rd and 4th year so the 80 x $2k = 160k + 190k = 350k. It’s a solid offer for your 3rd and 4th year in terms of RSU. Push for more Bonus in 1st and 2nd year
He doesn’t have that as an offer, he’s debating what to ask for. IMO that is way too high
Yeah dont have offer yet. Will know in next few days. He asked me for my expected numbers.
Too high.
Updated RSUs. How about now?
I’m thinking ~90 RSU’s at best.
