I am 11 yrs experienced Oracle TechnoFunctional associate. Attributing to interview feedback they are offering Level5 SDE II position. My role is Oracle Applications technical resource, at Seattle FinTech Group. Could you guys please tell me if the below salary offer is good or not. Also what should be the ideal salary for this role and position? Base : $135000 Equity:$ 30000 Signing Bonus: $ 25000

Signing bonus and equity looks very less

What should be an average value?

Cognizant sl1987 OP Sep 10, 2019

Also this is for Oracle Application developer. Does that role plays a factor in getting appropriate numbers?

what do u mean equity 30k? 30k over 4 years? 1 year? vesting schedule?

I am yet to start salary negotiations. I am not sure what is avg RSU / stock/Equity that Amazon offers for my role and position level5.

Amazon göktürk Sep 10, 2019

so where did you get these numbers from?

Amazon Beef Gates Sep 10, 2019

Oracle devs are fake sdes, the offer is lower than the bottom 1% in comparison with other L5 Sdes. So its kinda hard to say if thats a good offer or not, maybe you can eventually grow out of oracle, do massive amt of leetcoding and learn new techs, your title at amazon can help you land a real sde job internally or outside, so as long as the offer is fair market value when compared to other oracle devs with similar capabilities as yours, I’d say go for it.

True, oracle apps is more on IT support and back office application side. Moreover, traditional ERP developers are sort of cobol programmers back in 90s

Cognizant sl1987 OP Sep 11, 2019

Ok.. I understand this role is not perceived as equivalent to rest of SDE roles. Indeed we deal with Oracle, Java, SOAP & REST protocols and SoA architecturjng etc. So would that not be very unfair calling them as old as COBOL and not even equal to lowest 1% salary category of SDE level 5? However, existing employees on these roles, can you shed some light on the numbers?

Amazon Beef Gates Sep 11, 2019

The lowest L5 Sde i’ve come across was at 170, but I dont know too much about TC distribution of Oracle devs

Cognizant sl1987 OP Sep 11, 2019

For L5 what could be minimum Equity Amazon offers?
