I’m considering an offer from Amazon london SDE1. It’d be great to hear from Amazon folks if it’s a good offer or if I should be looking to negotiate: Base: £48k Year 1 Sign on bonus: £19k RSUs over 4 years (5%, 15%, 40%, 40%): £41k So, year 1 TC ~ £69k
How is this so low? Honestly a joke that salaries in the UK are so low. If you ever want to make a startup, get a US VC to fund you, and use UK engineering talent. You probably get the same level of intelligence or higher as a top 5 CS school from Oxbridge/Imperial at 1/3 of the price = 3x the runway
Yeah, not really sure why the pay is so low comparatively, but it’s a bit worrying
Yoe?
It’s a very average salary package, I’m guessing your YoE is 1.5-2 years? If new grad this is slightly higher than average by a few thousand pounds.
Please share your interview experience
Magical number for your TC! You should take it!
